REFERENCING & PLAGIARISM Reference sources in-text using the Harvard method e.g. (Bezuidenhout, 2013:6) Rewrite the information in your own words to avoid plagiarism List of references Place sources in alphabetical order
PLAGIARISM Plagiarism occurs where you copy the work word-for-word from the study material (without properly referencing the information or indicating the words taken from the Study Guide/manual by putting them into double inverted commas (quotation marks (e.g. “…….”). The use, word-for-word, of other people’s written work without acknowledging where you got the information from, i.e. passing it off as your own. Literally this in effect means you are ‘stealing’ (the theft of) other people’s words, information or ideas (concepts, theories, research findings). In essence this amounts to academic fraud (passing off information as your own). Not giving credit to someone is as bad as pretending that the relevant ideas are your own. It does not matter where you get information from. Whether you are getting it from a website, a court case, legislation, articles (journals, magazines/newspapers), conference proceedings, books or your study guide – you must ALWAYS give a reference to the relevant source. Failure to do so will be penalised and disciplinary action might be taken against you.
