1. why and when it is necessary to reference your work?

2. Why reference? Referencing is necessary to support your arguments by referring your reader to academic sources which confirm what you are saying; to give credit to the other authors whose work you have quoted, or to whose work you have referred; to avoid a charge of plagiarism; to allow the reader of your work to find the books, journal articles, web pages etc which you have read; and to demonstrate that you understand the conventions of academic writing.

3. plagiarism Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work authororiginal work

4. PLAGIARISM It is not only acceptable, but expected, that you will refer to the work of others in your academic writing. Plagiarism occurs when you use other people's work without acknowledging that have done so by citing your sources and providing references for them.

5. When to reference You must provide a reference every time you quote directly from the work of someone else; every time you refer indirectly to the work of someone else, eg if you –paraphrase (put into your own words) what they have said; –summarise their arguments or ideas; –quote case studies, statistical data, known phrases, definitions etc; or –use information which you have obtained from their work; and when you wish to provide sources of further information, clarification of points you have made in your text, or additional evidence to support your arguments.

6. Quoting Quotation is taking the exact words written by someone else and reproducing them in your work. Short quotations should be contained within your paragraph of text, but enclosed within quotation marks (double inverted commas). Longer quotations should be indented as a separate paragraph and do not require quotation marks.

7. Paraphrasing Even if ideas, theories, opinions etc that you have taken from other people's work are reproduced in your work in your own words this will still constitute plagiarism unless you provide a reference. Only information which is considered general knowledge, or common knowledge within your field of study, does not have to be referenced.

8. HOW REFERENCING WORKS A summary

9. Citation The citation is inserted into your text where you have quoted from, or referred to, someone else's work. It consists, in brackets, of the author(s) or editor(s) of the work followed by the year of publication. A page reference should be included where you have quoted directly or are referring to an illustration (photograph, map, table, diagram etc).

10. Reference list The reference list is located at the end of the main body of your work and gives the full details of works from which you have quoted, or to which you have referred. The list is arranged alphabetically by author

11. Bibliography The bibliography is located at the end of the main body of your work, after the reference list.

12. 1.It lists the full details of items which you have read, but to which you have NOT referred directly in your text. The bibliography is located at the end of the main body of your work, after the reference list. 2.There is, therefore, no citation in your text for an item listed in your bibliography. 3.Such items would include background reading. 4.The list is arranged alphabetically by author. 5.It may be possible to combine your reference list and bibliography, but you should check with your school before doing so.

13. Citations and reference list Where you have quoted from, or referred to, someone else's work, you must insert a citation in your text. This will guide the reader to the reference list at the end of your work. Here the reader can look up, alphabetically by author, a full reference for the item you have used. The citation is placed in brackets in your text and consists of the surname(s) of the author(s) or editor(s) of the item as they appear in the reference list at the end of your work; the year of publication of the item; and where you quote directly from someone else's work, or are referring to an illustration, a page reference. Only the first letter of the authors' or editors' surnames is capitalised and no initials are given. There is no comma between the author(s) or editor(s) surname(s) and the year of publication. If you have used the name(s) of the author(s) or editor(s) in your sentence then only the year of publication, and a page reference if appropriate, are placed within the brackets.

14. Example of citations matching to reference list In addition to professional genres, academic writing research has also examined the genres/tasks students are expected to perform in university content classrooms (Braine 2010). In one of the first studies on student writing tasks, Horowitz (2011) analyzed 54 writing assignments from one graduate and 28 undergraduate courses taught in 17 departments of an American university. Horowitz identified seven categories of writing tasks expected of students: summary of/reaction to a reading; annotated bibliography; report on a specified participatory experience; connection of theory and data; case study; synthesis of multiple sources; and research project. While Horowitz's study did not have a particular disciplinary focus, other studies examined written genres required of students in specific disciplines (Swales 2012). One finding is that much of what students need to write, particularly in upper division undergraduate and graduate level courses, is specifically tied to their disciplines. Faigley and Hansen's study (2013) of writing in a psychology course and a sociology course showed different reactions to student writing from readers with different degrees of disciplinary expertise and different aims for writing. While an English professor was largely concerned with the surface features of papers, the sociology professor paid more attention to "what knowledge the student had acquired than in how well the report was written" (Berkenkotter and Huckin 2014 p. 147).

15. Bibliography The bibliography is located at the end of the main body of your work, after the reference list. It lists the full details of items which you have read, but to which you have NOT referred directly in your text. There is, therefore, no citation in your text for an item listed in your bibliography. Such items would include background reading. The list is arranged alphabetically by author.

16. Watch for: Where the same author has published more than one work in the same year Secondary referencing (where a book or article refers to another item which you have not read but wish to reference) Multiple citations to support the same point SEE THE HANDOUTS FOR THIS

17. When is it necessary to use an online reference for books and journal articles electronic access to a large number of books and journal articles is now available. The fact that they can be accessed in this way DOES NOT mean that they are purely online items. If you could have read them in hard copy then simply give the normal reference. An electronic reference is only required if the book or article is ONLY available online and there is no hard copy version. The appropriate reference examples are included under the sections dealing with books and journal articles.
