Right Referencing Learning Services

Referencing In this session we will look at: Why we should reference Ethical use of information to avoid plagiarism Appropriate information sources to reference How to reference correctly Practical examples Recognise referencing within a piece of text. How to use a consistent reference style, for example British Standard Harvard.

Why Do We Reference? Correct referencing shows you have read widely and researched your work correctly. It also allows the marker to check the accuracy of your statements by following up your references.

Why Do We Reference? If you do not reference your work properly it can be interpreted as plagiarism. Plagiarism means presenting the words or ideas of someone else as your own without proper acknowledgement of the source. This constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter.

Plagiarism means citing another person’s spoken or written words, ideas or inventions without referencing them. If you read something in a book, journal or web page, or hear something in a radio broadcast or podcast, and you use it in your assignment without referencing it, this could be considered plagiarism. This can happen unintentionally and we may not realise that we have failed to credit the author; however it could be viewed that you are trying to pass off someone else’s work as your own, and the offence carries severe penalties that may lead to your expulsion from the programme. Tip! DO NOT Copy chunks of text from the Internet and paste them straight into your work as this can lead to claims of plagiarism. Plagiarism

Harvard Referencing

Referencing is made up of two parts: 1.What goes in the text 2.What goes in the bibliography (this is the list at the end of any piece of work you hand in)

You should refer to the source of your information in the appropriate place in the text. This should be brief and should only include details of the Author, Date of Publication and Page Number. When to reference

For example in the text…. “Until the final decades of the Twentieth Century the idea of childhood as a distinct and separate social category had been paid very little attention”. (McDowell Clark, 2010, p.36) OR McDowell Clark (2010, p.36) claims that “until the final decades of the Twentieth Century the idea of childhood as a distinct and separate social category had been paid very little attention”. When to reference

The next step is to put together your details in the right format. This will make up your bibliography The format used depends on the type of material you used to find your information All types of material formats are included in the guide. For the purposes of today we will look at : 1. Books 2. Journal Articles What goes in the bibliography?

AUTHOR OR EDITOR. Year. Title. Edition (if there is one). Place of publication: Publisher. For example… McDOWELL CLARK, R., Childhood in society for early childhood studies. Exeter: Learning Matters. Books

The author’s name must always go in reverse order ie. SURNAME first followed by a comma and the FIRST INITIAL then a full stop. eg. JONES, K. or ALLAN, S. The entries in your bibliography should be listed in alphabetical order by the author’s surname It is essential to ensure you keep your punctuation consistent in every entry McDOWELL CLARK, R., Childhood in society for early childhood studies. Exeter: Learning Matters. NATIONAL CHILDREN’S BUREAU, NCB's response to the Chancellor’s 2013 Autumn Statement [online].
