Cite using Oxford

Most material on YouTube is produced by someone, meaning you need to be careful when determining the copyright holder, title etc. In the bibliography, you can add information related to YouTube, but at a minimum include the video’s URL. See the examples below.

You can use the same approach with other video platforms and multimedia.

If available, include this information in the following order in the footnote:

• Name of the person who made the video (or director, editor, publisher etc)
• Video title (in quotes)
• Publication date (If not available, include access date)
• Type of medium / source, eg: YouTube video, TED talk, Vimeo video, etc.
• URL

• Surname of the person who made the video (or director, editor, publisher, etc.)
