WHY REFERENCE? • Shows the breadth of your research • Strengthens your academic argument • Shows the reader the source of your information • Allows the reader to consult your sources independently • Allows the reader to verify your data Source www.warriorlibrarian.com/GHS/lib_year07.html
WHEN REFERENCE? Anything that you have read, and refer to in your academic writing, you must: • acknowledge in text (i.e. in the assignment/ essay you are writing) and include in your reference list (i.e. the list at the end of your work of all your sources). • Plagiarism can occur by mistake if you are not careful. HINT: Whenever you read, take notes, or photocopy any material that you might use in an assignment, immediately copy the full reference information onto your copy (or file). If you can’t reference it – you can’t use it ! Auckland University of Technology, 14/5/10, http://aut.ac.nz.libguides.com/content.php?pid=72586&sid=609360
