Note down the source as you write your dissertation: When writing, we frequently borrow material from several sources without citing them. We end up losing track of that precise reference as a result, and we end up wasting hours seeking for that particular article or piece of study. In light of this, you should constantly record the reference whenever you use it in your dissertation or whenever you incorporate material or data. 2. Cite every piece of Information that is acquired from the outside: Every shred of information that is not directly collected by you should be sited. You should always reference any specific and accurate facts, figures, or other information that you use; and if you are writing about your interpretation of another research, then of course, that research should be sited. 3. Pick a style and stick with it: Before you begin writing, you should determine which citation style to employ. There are a few you can pick from, for example, Harvard, APA, MLA, etc. most colleges and universities ask their students to put the references in a certain format, so make sure, which ne is it for your institution. When citing someone else’ exact research data, be as detailed as possible, when it comes mentioning the exact place where the given information originated. 4. Be consistent: Use the same format, for referencing all the secondary information, otherwise it can lead to some confusion; the more precise and consistent you make your citation and reference list, the easier it becomes for your readers to follow. 5. Proofread your reference list: Check and recheck your reference list to make sure that you didn’t forget to mention anything. Also, make sure that all the sources are arranged as per the format and they are properly arranged and numbered. These above mentioned tips will certainly make reference writing an easy task for you, and will also make your dissertation well- rounded and wholesome and easy to grasp.
