WHAT ?
Citing & referencing explained3 PARTS
• STATEMENT – e.g. idea, finding, conclusion taken from a source
• CITATION – in the body of your text – indicates idea taken from a source (i.e. that not your own idea)– abbreviated form– refers reader to reference list
• REFERENCE – full details of source used– end of your text (usually)– allows reader to find source / verify what you say, if necessary
Statements
Citations in body of text (in-text citation) abbreviated pointers to full reference
Allow reader to:
• know when you are stating an idea, fact or text that is not your own
• find full details of the source in your reference list
Reference end of text full bibliographic details
Allows reader to :• see breadth & depth of reading• locate sources • verify if necessary
What is a citation style?Hundreds of different styles
Author/date (e.g. Harvard)
(Handelman and Levin, 2008)
Handelman, G. J. and Levin, N. W. (2008) ‘Iron and anemia in human biology: a reviewof mechanisms’, Heart Failure Reviews, 13(4), 393-404.
Numeric (e.g. Vancouver)
(1) [1]
1. Handelman G J, Levin NW. Iron and anemia in human biology: a review of mechanisms. Heart Failure Reviews 2008;13(4):393-404.
Journal specific e.g. British Medical Journal
1
1. Handelman GJ, Levin NW. Iron and anemia in human biology: a review of mechanisms. Heart Failure Reviews 2008;13(4):393-404.
Check with your lecturer / tutor which style to use.
If using Endnote/EndnoteWeb – recommend Harvard HWU
Use one style consistently throughout paper . D

Referencing explained
Reference list / bibliography
Terms often used interchangeably - a list of what you’ve read at the end of a piece of work
Reference listFull details of all documents cited (mentioned) in the text
BibliographyFull details of all documents cited (mentioned) in the text and/or Full details of other (background) reading - not cited
usually for larger pieces of work
Check with your School on terminology and what is required
WHY ?
Avoiding Plagiarism
Words/ideas, etc = intellectual propertyTheft = penalties
Using someone else’s work, words or ideas and passing them off as your own e.g. from -
• published material e.g. book• unpublished e.g. dissertation / thesis • semi-published / grey literature – e.g. company reports• material from a web page• radio / tv programmes
• cutting & pasting / quoting / paraphrasing
Detection: vocabulary, style & fluency, Turnitin

Academic writingRead widely - proportionate to assignment - appropriate sources Show your reading - evaluate and discuss other authors’ ideas - show your understanding of the literature - attribute your sources
Evaluate / formulate your own response / conclusion
Use work of others to support your own opinions I believe that genetically modified yeasts will play a major role in the continuing advancement of brewing technology.
Studies by Linko (2009) and Young (2010) illustrate the technical advantages of genetically modified yeasts . Their significance has also been noted by Jones (2008).

WHEN ?
QUIZ
Quiz at: Paul Robeson Library (n.d.) How to avoid plagiarism: An online tutorial [Online]. Available at:http://library.camden.rutgers.edu/EducationalModule/Plagiarism/ (Accessed: 26 September, 2011)
When to cite
Using someone else’s work, words or ideas from e.g.
• published material e.g. book• unpublished e.g. dissertation / thesis• material from a web page
Text• quoting • paraphrasing
Statistics • if not your owne.g. In 2006, 20% of people in the UK lived below the poverty line.
Tables, graphs, diagrams, images•unless you created these yourself
Radio, TV programmes, etc
When not to cite
Your own opinions / ideas / thoughts / conclusions e.g.
I believe that television can play a positive role in children’s education. Baker (2006) presents convincing evidence that children’s recall is greater
for visually presented facts and these findings have been supported by Morton (2007).
It could be argued that television is a key contributor to children’s learning.
Jones (2006), for example, suggests that children absorb information more efficiently when presented in audio-visual form.
However . . . . . do cite to back up your opinions . . .
When not to cite
Common knowledge e.g. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
However, each subject will have its own common knowledge e.g. Mitochondria are found in cells If in doubt – ask your tutor
Don’t cite if you don’t need to! Try not to pepper your work with unnecessary citations in an effort to get extra marks.
Never cite something you haven’t read.
HOW ?

of sources used
e.g.books Author surname, Initial/s
Publication date / year
Title
Place of publication
Publisher
Page number/s information taken from

title
URL
