Referencing

Referencing

What is referencing?

Referencing is a standardized method of formatting the information sources you have used in your assignments or written work.

Why do we have to reference?

Failure to reference, or poor referencing can be classified as Academic Misconduct. It is a standard required of scholarly communication. It is also a standard for written communication expected by professional organisations where you will eventually be employed.
Referencing: 
  • shows adherence to academic writing standards
  • shows respect for and acknowledges the work of other scholars 
  • provides evidence that you have read and considered the relevant literature
  • allows validation and confirmation of sources used in your work, and
  • gives your work credibility.
