The APA style is used at Central Institute of Technology

Benefits your reader
Benefits your reader

6. 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)

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

12. Keep a list of your references as you
The main things to take away:
Keep a list of your references as you
are writing your report or paper or use the
‘References’ feature in MS WORD 2007 or 2010.
If you’ve used an in-text reference in your report or paper, you MUST have the full
reference in the Reference List
