AGLC4 referencing

AGLC4 citations from sources you control.

The Australian Guide to Legal Citation, the standard for Australian law schools and journals.

How AGLC4 cites

Sources are cited by a superscript number pointing to a footnote carrying the full reference.

A bibliography usually accompanies the notes, and the two are formatted differently — the note is not simply the bibliography entry repeated.

Editions

Mindgrads renders AGLC4 edition 4. Briefs often name an edition, and the difference is not cosmetic — check the brief before you start rather than reformatting afterwards.

What Mindgrads does

References come from sources you have added to the project, so a citation points at a document you uploaded rather than a title a model produced. In-text citations and the bibliography are generated from those records and rewritten together when you change style, and both are carried into DOCX and PDF export.

Formatting rules change between editions and institutions publish their own variants. Check the output against your course handbook before submitting — this is a tool for managing references, not a substitute for the requirements you were given.

Ready workspace

Start with the brief. Leave with a review-ready workflow.

Mindgrads keeps planning, source context, writing support, review, and export in one visible path.
