Referencing

Why do we need to reference?
• Credit where credit is due
• So others can go back and find the same
information
• Avoid plagarism
• Gives credibility

Referencing Styles
• There are many different referencing styles from many
sources
• Two common styles
• Note system - using a number in text
• Parenthetical systems – using author/date in text – e.g.
Harvard Referencing System

Reference List vs In Text
What’s the difference?
•A reference list is an alphabetical list at the end of
a document that shows all readings referred to
within the document.
•In text reference is within the body of text that
acknowledges the source

6. Document Title (Editable via ‗Slide Master‘) | Page 6
Reference List vs Bibliography
• A reference list refers ONLY to journals,
books, websites etc that are referred to in
the body of the text
• A bibliography is a list of everything that is
read in preparation of writing

7. Document Title (Editable via ‗Slide Master‘) | Page 7
In Text Referencing
• Quote, copy, summarise or paraphrase
someone elses work in the body of an
assignment, essay etc
• Use surname, year of publication, page
number

An in text reference may look
like…
• Brown (2008 p63) states that…
OR

undertaken at diploma level (King 2010

Citations

in the original article
E.g.
• Jones (2005) cited in Pink (2011 p45)

Reference List
• Must be in alphabetical order, according to
author’s surname
• Types of publications are not separated e.g.
journals, websites etc
• Use the same format for each reference
• Personally, I am not concerned about the
presence or absence of puncutation marks, more
interested in content being correct
