  2. What is referencing? … indicating in assignments when you have used material that has not originated with you. Why reference? * It is a way of measuring your ability to understand, analyse and evaluate the work of others; * Informs the reader of the texts you have consulted during research; * You will be assessed on the quality and relevancy of these sources; * Referencing carries a percentage of the overall marks if undertaken appropriately.

  3. Plagiarism … using the words of others or their creative output without explicit acknowledgement – published or unpublished, including material from the internet. * When you take notes from different sources, keep records of which are your own observations, where you are paraphrasing and which are direct quotations. * Organize your notes, note down your sources. This will be very helpful when taking notes over a longer period and reviewing them later.

  4. How to reference There are several ways of including sources in your work. You can: * Summarise; * Paraphrase; * Directly quote; * Secondary reference; * Refer to an author with more than one publication in a single year.

  5. * The University of South Wales Guide to Harvard Referencing – highlights some of the sources that can be referred to when writing an assignment. The various referencing requirements for each source are presented and include an in-text and reference list example. • * This guide does not include all possible sources that you might encounter during the course of your studies. Please seek advice if you need guidance that does not feature here. • * Recommended book: • Pears, R. and Shields, G. (2013) Cite them right: The Essential Referencing Guide (Palgrave Study Skills). 9th edn.Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.

  6. SSummarising You only need to insert the author’s name and year of publication if you are summarizing the overall argument or positions of a book or article. No need for page numbers in the text or in the reference list. Text: There are general resources which give a good overview of skills, some of which you may not have developed before, for example, proof-reading (Fairbairn & Winch 1996; Cottrell 2003) References: Cottrell, S. (2003) The study skills handbook. 2nd edn. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan. Fairburn, G. J. and Winch, C. (1996) Reading, writing and reasoning: A guide for students. 2nd edn. Maidenhead: Open University Press

  7. Paraphrasing You should include page numbers in the text, as well as the author’s name and year if you are paraphrasing a specific point from your source. Text: Cottrell (2003 p.1) writes that by improving your study skills you can “accelerate the learning process”. Reference: Cottrell, S. (2003) The study skills handbook. 2nd edn. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.
