Referencing

To protect yourself!

1. Yes
2. No

You used 5 different websites and summarised 100 pages into 5 pages of notes. It's pretty much your work now. Do you need to reference the sites?

1. Yes
2. No

When to reference?

When you quote, paraphrase, summarise or copy information from the sources you are using to research your work, you must always acknowledge the source.

There are two places where you need to acknowledge the source: in the text, and at the end of the text.

Where?

The place where you use the information in the text of your work should be shown with an 'in-text citation'. At the end of your work, you should provide a reference list of all the works that you have 'cited' in your work.

Paraphrase

Rephrasing a spoken or written passage that is not your own. So putting someone else's idea in your own words. 

No quotation marks, but you can start the sentences with:

 According to Author( year) 

or  (Author, date) at the end of the sentence.
