Referencing
What is referencing?
� A reference is needed whenever you are using an
idea/definition/concept/experimental results from another
author or source
� In-text citation versus reference list
� An in-text citation is used in the body of your essay/report
straight after your paraphrased your work to demonstrate where
you got that idea
� All sources cited in the body of your text needs to be included in
an alphabetical reference list at the end of your work - and you
should not include any references for which there were no in-
text citations
Why do I have to reference?
� Validates your work, and demonstrates to the reader (your
eLA) that you have researched thoroughly
� Citations and references help readers find the source that
has influenced your work
� Helps you to avoid plagiarism, which is considered a very
serious offense (more on this later)
� Direct quote
Moran argues that it is important to “trust the teacher to use professional judgement and follow the right path rather than the marked path” (2008, p.213).
� Paraphrase
If a teacher’s professional judgment suggests an alternative approach, they must be permitted to take it (Moran, 2008).
Quote or paraphrase?
Referencing styles
� “About this Unit” in Blackboard lists which referencing style you need
to use for your unit e.g. APA 6th Edition or Harvard
� If in doubt always check with your eLA as they will be marking your
assignment.
� Both referencing systems follow the basic author/year model but there
are differences (e.g. Harvard always uses page numbers, APA only uses
page numbers for direct quotations not paraphrasing)
� In-text citations will always have the author’s surname, followed by the
year of publication
Eg. Turner (2010, p.23) observes that “blah blah blah”.
OR
It has been suggested that “blah blah blah” (Turner 2010, p. 23).

Referencing tips
� Referencing anything that comes from anywhere other than
your head
� A citation at the end of a paragraph only covers you for that
sentence; the rest is potential plagiarism.
� Synthesise your sources; aim for a number of sources per
paragraph/idea
� Build your reference list as you go; do not leave referencing until
you’ve “finished”
Referencing styles
� Psychology and Education students use APA style
� All other students (i.e. Business students) use Harvard style
� You can find links to the referencing style guides and referencing tool here:
http://www.swinburne.edu.au/lib/studyhelp/referencing.htm
� This is a useful site for how to format audio-visual material in APA format:
http://www.usq.edu.au/library/referencing/apa-referencing-
guide#Audiovisual_and_other_media
� NB. Learning and Communicating Online – you can use either so use the
referencing style that you will be using for the rest of your course
