Create a spot-on reference in NP 405
What is NP 405?
The acronym NP 405 stands for Norma Portuguesa 405. This is the designation of the national standard for bibliographic references adopted in Portugal.
NP 405 sets the rules for compiling the bibliographic references to information sources and the appropriate in-text citations or footnotes. The publication comprises 4 standards dedicated to the rules applicable to printed documents, non-book materials, unpublished documents, and electronic documents.
What are the specifics of Norma Portuguesa 405?
Norma Portuguesa 405 has a number of characteristic traits.
First of all, there are three different systems of references/citations that can be used. The first system assumes the alphabetical ordering of references; the references in a bibliography are accompanied by footnotes in the text of the paper, and there are different rules for the first and the subsequent footnotes. The second system is the so-called numerical system, or ‘citation-sequence’ system; it assumes the ordering of references by chronology of citation and the use of numerical in-text citations. Finally, the third system is the classical ‘author-date’ system.
NP 405 uses punctuation that is not common to the other referencing standards. For example, a hyphen is put between the name of the author and the title of the cited work.
Also, Norma Portuguesa 405 allows applying different formatting to work titles, choosing between the bold font, italics, the underlined fond, and quotes.
There are also other specific traits in terms of the ordering of references, punctuation, and so on.
