APA Referencing Semester 1, 2013 Jan Coe, Librarian
What this session will cover: Revision of why and how to reference Practicing referencing in different formats
What is Referencing? Referencing is a standardized way to acknowledge the sources of information (and ideas) that you have used in your written work The APA style is used at Central Institute of Technology
Why do you reference?

Benefits you Benefits your reader Benefits your reader Benefits your reader
When do you have to reference? If you: quote (use someone else’s exact words) copy (use figures, tables, graphics,etc) paraphrase (convert someone else’s ideas into your own words)
Why paraphrase? Paraphrasing shows that you have understood the passage you are referencing and can put it in your own words in a coherent manner. Paraphrasing is an alternative to quoting directly, but as the paraphrase is still dependent on someone else's ideas, the source material must be referenced. Communications Learning Centre, Paraphrasing, Retrieved fromhttp://clc.cqu.edu.au/FCWViewer/view.do?page=853
What if you don’t reference? You commit plagiarism! Plagiarism is the term used when you copy another person’s ideas or opinions as your own and don’t acknowledge the original source of the information
Referencing is made up of in-text and end-text references An in-text reference is the shortened version of the reference that you incorporate into the body of your report or paper. An end-text reference is the full citation that gives enough information about the source so that someone can find it on their own. You always have to have BOTH
