Concepts Citations vs References Citations a line of text that identifies the source of a statement (Wikipedia) occurs in the body of the paper typically list the author(s), publication year & pages References = list of publications to which an author has made specific reference, usually placed at the end of an article or chapter, or at the end of a book (Harrod’s Librarians’ Glossary & Reference Book, 1990).
Concepts Bibliography vs Reference list Bibliography = sources that were read, but not necessarily cited (background reading). List of references = sources that are cited in the text
Why is referencing important? Recording of sources used in a specific & consistent format Acknowledge the original author/s ideas or work Indicate the breadth & depth of literature review Enables the reader to locate the literature cited easily Shows how researcher have built on the ideas and thoughts of other people. Reference to the original author protects the researcher from plagiarism
