and titled: References.• It should include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged
alphabetically A-Z by author surname. In addition, it MUST include a hyperlink to the full

Second Wave ERP Education, Journal of Information Systems Education, Fall,
http://jise.org/Volume15/n3/JISEv15n3p327.pdf• All assignments will require additional

3. in-text reference details, which will consist of the surname of the author/authors or name of
the authoring body, year of publication, page number of content, paragraph where the
content can be found. For example;“The company decided to implement a enterprise wide
data warehouse business intelligence strategies (Hawking et al, 2004, p3(4)).”Non-
Adherence to Referencing Guidelines Where students do not follow the above guidelines:1.
Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the referencing guidelines will

level, if any, ofplagiarism. SafeAssign will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the
Web and your own class members submissions for plagiarism. You can see your SafeAssign
similarity score (or match) when you submit your assignment to the appropriate drop-box.
If this is a concern you will have a chance to change your assignment and resubmit.
