Hi Viviane,

If you have mentioned the dictionary in an in text reference then yes you should have a matching reference in the reference list. The way you'd reference the dictionary is much like a book. For example:

Delbridge, A. 2001, The Macquarie dictionary, Rev. 3rd edn, Macquarie Library, North Ryde, N.S.W.

If the dictionary has no author then reference like this:

The Macquarie dictionary 2001, Rev. 3rd edn, Macquarie Library, North Ryde, N.S.W.

Hope this helps!
