  3. Why referencing is important • Demonstrates your ability to select appropriate material and evaluate it • Allows others to trace your sources of information quickly and easily • Acknowledges the work of other researchers • Protects you against accusations of plagiarism.

  4. Plagiarism Plagiarism occurs when “…the student 'borrows' or copies information, data or results from an unacknowledged source, without quotation marks or any indication that the presenter is not the original author or researcher.” Department of Education, 2006. The MA in Education: handbook for the full-time course. Bath: University of Bath.

  5. Definitions Citing is the way a writer refers from the text to a list of sources supplied at the end of the work. Referencing is the process of creating a bibliographic list of sources and presenting each entry in a consistent style.

  6. Which system should I use? • Various systems in use here • Your Department/School will advise • The Library has produced a guide for the Harvard and Numeric styles • If you are publishing in a journal, use the journal style.

  7. Harvard - citation Cite your source within your text by giving the author’s or editor’s surname(s), year of publication, and (where appropriate) page numbers e.g. Coleman (2005, p.73) has argued that…

  8. Harvard - citation When citing a substantial amount of text, it is customary to let the text stand alone as a paragraph and to indent it. The reader should then be able to use the citation to refer to the full details in your ‘list of references’ or bibliography at the end of your written work.
