Referencing
Department

Why reference?
“Referencing is the process of acknowledging the sources you have used in writing your essay,
assignment or piece of work. It allows the reader to access your source documents as quickly and easily as possible in order to verify, if necessary, the
validity of your arguments and the evidence on which they are based.”
- Palgrave Study Skills Online, http://www.palgrave.com/studentstudyskills/page/referencing-and-avoiding-plagiarism/
Department
21
What is plagiarism? Passing off as your own a piece of work that is
partly or wholly the work of another student Citing and referencing sources that you have not
used Quoting, summarising or paraphrasing material
in your assignment without citing the original source
'Recycling' a piece of your own work that you have previously submitted for another module or course (i.e. self-plagiarism).
