4
What is Referencing? Referencing is a method of acknowledging sources of information that you have used in your written work. The APA (American Psychological Association) 6 th edition is the method now used at Central Institute of Technology. © Central Institute of Technology 2014
5
Why do you reference? To acknowledge the source of information and ideas of others. To show the breadth of your research. To allow the reader to be able to find and verify the information. Study, 2007 © Central Institute of Technology 2014
6
If you: quote (use someone else’s exact words) paraphrase (convert someone else’s ideas into your own words) summarise (use a brief account of someone else’s ideas) copy (use statistics, figures, tables, images) Rottnest Island, 2008 © Central Institute of Technology 2014
7
When do you not need to give references? References are not required for items of general knowledge or common knowledge. Common knowledge includes facts that are well known within the community in which they are used. An example: Auslan is the sign language of the Australian deaf community. © Central Institute of Technology 2014
8
What if you don’t reference? Plagiarism is the term used when someone copies another person’s ideas or opinions as their own and doesn’t acknowledge the original source of the information. Plagiarism, whether deliberate or accidental, is a form of cheating and is not acceptable. Remember, if you plagiarise in your assignment you may fail © Central Institute of Technology 2014
