REFERENCING AT NAZARETH CATHOLIC COLLEGE

WHAT IS REFERENCING???? When you are writing an assignment you MUST acknowledge the author who wrote the point, idea or phrase that you are using. Failure to attribute or reference an idea or a quotation to its author can be construed as plagiarism. SSABSA does not have a written policy on referencing, but it does have a written policy on PLAGIARISM.

A reference is required if you:  quote (use someone else’s exact words)  copy (use their figures, tables or structure)  paraphrase (use their idea in your own words )  summarise (use a brief account of their ideas).

Referencing styles Author-date systems - include both the author name and date in the text Numerical systems – use a number in the text to refer to a source Formerly Harvard Style Chicago Style

The Chicago style, sometimes called documentary note or humanities style, places bibliographic citations at the bottom of a page FOOTNOTES 1 or at the end of a paper ENDNOTES J.D. Butler & D.F. Walbert, 1986, Abortion, Medicine and the Law, Facts on File Publication, New York. 1 Larsen, 1996 p.46
