1. Proper Referencing

2. Why should we reference?  PLAGIARISM Need to give credit where credit is due You are not that smart... Yet  Resource sharing Further interest Further research  Gives Credibility Supports findings Supports opinion

3. Appropriate Reference Material  Group 1: journal articles; textbooks; newspaper articles; some webpages  Group 2 (must be backed up by group 1): webpages; television shows; magazine articles  Wikipedia is a great source of information but it CAN NOT be used as a group 1 source

4. Parenthetical References (In-Text)  These are used when you are giving credit to facts, statements, quotes, statistics, etc. within the text of your paper/presentation  Example: The internet was first available for home use in 1995 (Smith, 2008).

5. The Reference List  Appears at the end of papers and presentations  Must be in alphabetical order  First line of each reference must be indented  References that do not appear in text should not appear in the list

6. Referencing a textbook (in list)  Follow this format: Author(s). (Date). Title. Publishing Company, Place of Publication.  Example: class textbook – Biology 12 Make sure to double space each line Di Giuseppe, M., Vavistas, A., Ritter, B. (PhD), Fraser, D., Arora, A. & Lisser, B. (2003). Biology 12. Thomson Nelson, Toronto.

7. Referencing a Journal Article (in list)  Similar to a textbook; instead of place of publishing, you must give the volume/issue number and the page numbers  Example: Senden, T. J., Moock, K. H., Gerald, J. F., Burch, W. M., Bowitt, R. J., Ling, C. D., et al. (1997). The physical and chemical nature of technigas. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 38(10), 1327-33.
