The information and activities in this tutorial are designed to introduce you to the “what, why and how” of acknowledging your sources. The tutorial is not intended to teach you how to use specific referencing styles, or to imply that any given style should be adopted. Always use the referencing style recommended by your own department – and if unsure, ask your lecturer. Throughout the tutorial author-date examples are given in APA style and footnote examples are given in Chicago style.

Images shows the text below in blocked off sections. All academic work relies on the work of others; that is, experts in the field. Their work is usually published in books, journal articles, or occasionally other media – your sources of information. The term “acknowledging your sources” is often used in place of “citing and referencing” because this is exactly what you do when using information from published sources: you acknowledge the source of your information. The convention for acknowledging the source of information, involves two steps: 1. a citation in the text of the document 2. a reference list OR a bibliography at the end of the document Examples In-text citation The assumption that female politicians must be morally superior to their male counterparts has actually acted to their disadvantage (Baird, 2004). Throughout the tutorial author-date examples are given in APA style and footnote examples are given in Chicago style. Reference list Go to the references screen to view an example of a reference list.

Students usually think of citing and referencing in relation to writing, but it also applies when creating a video clip or giving a presentation.

Screen 7 – Why are citing and referencing essential?

Image showing screen with roll over text areas to display further information. Citing and referencing correctly is about much more than simply following university rules. These rules are in place to protect your work, as much as they are to protect the work of others. It is about maintaining academic integrity. Instruction to user: Roll your cursor over each of the headings to learn more. Rollover headings and information: Citing and referencing enable you to: 1. To validate your research By showing that your work is based on that of authorities in the field, you assure your readers that your own ideas and conclusions are valid. 2. To help readers locate your sources The citation tells the reader the information came from a published source. The reference list provides the publication details necessary for the reader to locate the source if they wish to learn more.

3. To situate your work in the discipline Whether writing up your own research or responding to the work of others, you are building on what has already been done in your field. By referring to the existing literature, you show the reader where your work ‘fits in’. 4. To avoid plagiarism When you put your name on a piece of academic writing you indicate that it is your own original work – except where indicated by citations. To maintain academic integrity you must give due credit to the original authors of the material you use.

Screen 8 – Citations, bibliographies and reference lists

You will often hear them used interchangeably. The terms ‘references’, ‘reference list’ and ‘bibliography’ are also frequently confused. Instruction to user: Click the coloured headings on the right to read more about each term.

Headings and information 1. Citation To cite: to mark within your text that the information comes from a published source. Sometimes also termed ‘to reference”. Tip: Citations can take the form of (author date), a bracketed number [1], or a superscript number (e.g. footnotes), depending on the style used. 2. Reference List To reference: give full publication details of the sources in a list at the end of your essay or report. A reference list includes only those authorities that have been cited in the document. Tip: Check with your department as there are exceptions to this rule. OR 3. Bibliography A bibliography is a complete list of sources consulted about a topic, but not necessarily cited in your work. A bibliography looks the same as a referencse list, except that it may list more sources than a reference list in the same piece of work. Tip: Check with your department as there are exceptions to this rule.
