3. What is Referencing? Referencing is a way of showing what sources you have used for your study, giving credit to the original authors. 3

4. Why do we do Referencing? To avoid plagiarism by giving credit to the original source of an idea, piece of information or resource. To support your work with the authoritative work of another author. To demonstrate your knowledge and familiarity with a topic that you have researched. To help readers of your work to find the original source of information or ideas that you have used. 4

5. Plagiarism and How to avoid it Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of someone else as your own without giving credit to the original author. To avoid plagiarism Learn good note-taking techniques Paraphrase appropriately Summarise correctly and efficiently Use direct quotations appropriately Use 'common knowledge' Organise your sources Reference your sources correctly 5

6. Parts of Referencing Referencing is in two parts: 1. The in-text referencing which is normally done in the text and 2. List of references which is normally at the end of the report. There are two ways of listing the references a. List of references: This refers to sources of materials cited in the text. Any material used for the preparation of the report but was not cited in the text cannot be part of the list of references b. Bibliography: This refers to all sources of informational materials used for the presentation of the report whether cited in the text or not. 6

7. Referencing Styles There are many different referencing styles. Each style includes the same basic information, but organizes it slightly differently. Some of the known formats/styles are: 1. American Psychology Association (APA) 2. Modern Language Association (MLA) 3. Harvard 7

8. APA Referencing Style APA stands for American Psychological Association. Basically, the APA reference style uses the Author-Date format. It is used by psychologist, sociologist and other social scientist. The complete format can be found in the publication manual of the American Psychological Association. The APA format requires short notes, or citations, put in parenthesis with the text instead of footnotes or endnotes 8

9. In-text Referencing: Indirect Quotation Identify source material that you are paraphrasing by citation of the author’s last name and the publication date, either in your sentence or in parenthesis. You do not have to cite page number(s) for paraphrases. 1. If you mention the author’s name and the publication date in your sentence, you will not need any additional citation. Example: In 1983 study, Deborah Mayo began to question the scientific validity of experience involving laboratory animals. 2. If you mention the author’s last name in your sentence, place the date of publication in parentheses right after the name. Example: Mayo (1983) questioned the scientific validity of experiments involving laboratory animals 9

10. In-text Referencing: Indirect Quotation Cont’d 3. If you do not mention the author’s name or the publication date in your sentence, put both parentheses with comma between them 4. If you cite two works by one author published in the same year, distinguish them by placing an (a) and a (b) after the date within the parenthesis 5. If you cite authors with the same last name, use their first and middle initials within the parentheses 6. If a work has two authors, combine the names with “and” in your sentence. Use an ampersand “&” instead of “and” in a parenthetical citation. 10

11. In-text Referencing: Indirect Quotation Cont’d 7. If a work has no author, cite it by the first tow or three words of the article, starting with the first important word and placing these two words or three words in quotation marks 8. If you use a quotation from an indirect source, precede the source information in the parenthetical citation with the words “as cited in”. In the reference list include an entry only for the secondary source 9. If you cite two or more works by different authors in one parenthetical citation, give the work in alphabetical order and separate them with semicolons (;) 10. If you cite a personal communication, such as a letter, an e-mail or a telephone conversation, you need not include a reference list entry. Cite the communication, giving initial as well as the last name of your source and the exact date 11

12. In-text Referencing: Indirect Quotation Cont’d If a work has more than two to five authors, cite all of them in your sentence or parenthetical citation in the first instance and in all other subsequent references use the last name of the first author followed by “et al.” If a work had six or more authors, use et al. after the first authors last name in all references in the text 12

13. In-text Referencing : Direct Quotation Direct quotation – use quotation marks around the quote and include page numbers Samovar and Porter (1997) point out that "language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (p.188). Alternatively, “Language involves attaching meaning to symbols" (Samovar & Porter, 1997, p.188). 13

14. In-text Referencing : Direct Quotation Cont’d Shorter quotations (fewer than 40 words) should be incorporated within your paragraph with quotation marks: they should not be indented separately but should have page numbers preceded by p. or pp. Longer quotation (over 40 words) should be block-indented five spaces from the left margin and typed without quotation marks 14
