  3. Referencing: True or False? You don't need to reference an idea you've read elsewhere and re- written in your own words There is only one acceptable style of referencing You need to reference your own opinions If you fail to reference correctly, you may be accused of plagiarism You only need to write a reference if you've quoted directly You don't need to reference information you get from a website

  4. Why cite references? • To get credit for the research you have done • To substantiate what you say • To enable others to follow up your research • To give credit to others for their work • To enable you to go back and check information • To avoid plagiarism

  5. What you should cite? Paraphrases • Somebody else’s idea in your words Direct quotes • Part of a sentence, built into your sentences • Long quotes that are introduced by your sentences • Block quotes (quotes of over 40 words)
