Why is citing and referencing your work properly important?

Why cite & reference?

Supports your own views or arguments Demonstrates your hard work and reading

Some readers skip straight to the references Demonstrates your understanding of the subject Acknowledges use of someone else’s ideas

Good academic practice, courteous Allow someone else to find the items Avoid accusations of plagiarism Remember to reference only high quality resources

Why cite & reference?

(Microsoft, 2014)

Plagiarism can be defined as “unacknowledged use of someone’s work” (Pears and Shields 2013: 1) Includes all written, audio, visual works or even ideas! Passing off someone’s work as your own Citing work that you have not used Paraphrasing someone’s work without citing Self-plagiarism Can occur on purpose or by accident Many educational institutions use anti plagiarism software to assess

submissions

Exceptions for “common knowledge” e.g. humans have two lungs.

Sources to cite & reference

There are many different reference styles. We will use Harvard (Anglia Ruskin)

Always use the same citation style throughout your work

Selecting a reference style

What is referencing?

Referencing consists of two parts: Part 1 - A citation for every source used

in the body of your work. Part 2 – A reference list at the end of

your work detailing the full list of references used

EVERY citation must have a reference

Citing

Part 1

A citation should be included each time you reference someone else's work

It does not give full details of the original author but acts as a signpost to the full reference at the end of your work.

What is a citation?

In-text citations

Author Surname

Year of publicatio

n

Page number

(Mullins, 2013, p.9)

A citation consists of only the following:

There are two ways to include other’s work in your own work:

Paraphrasing – Putting other’s knowledge into your own words.

Quoting – Direct insertion of other’s words in quotation marks.

You must always provide citation for both.

Paraphrase or Quote

Paraphrase wherever possible – demonstrates your understanding

Only quote for impact Use quote if author makes ideal point Use if quoting key piece of evidence Short quotes should be enclosed in single/double quotation

marks – remain consistent Longer quotes should be indented in a separate paragraph

and indented (quotation marks are not necessary)

When do I paraphrase? When do I quote?

There are many schools of management thinking. At one level, they can be broadly categorised as either academic or popularist. There was a time when academic thinking was based on the work of a few key individuals whose theories have been proved through limited trials. The application of psychology and other sciences to management actions has results in the wide literature that was referred to in chapter 1, ranging from soundly based theory to more speculative journalism.

Example text

Maylor, H. (2010) Project Management. 4th edn. Harlow: Pearson Education – from page 18

Management thinking is influenced by many areas of expertise. The worlds of academia, psychology and science have all shaped different ways of thinking with varying degrees of reliability, from theory to more speculative journalism (Maylor, 2010, p.18).

Paraphrasing the example text

The worlds of academia, psychology and science have all shaped different ways of thinking with varying degrees of reliability, from “soundly based theory to more speculative journalism” (Maylor, 2010, p.18).

Paraphrasing and quoting the example text

... there are two main ways to produce an in-text citation, called the information-prominent and author-prominent methods (McMillan and Weyers, 2010, p. 194)

In-text citations

McMillan and Weyers (2010, p. 194) suggest that there are two main ways to produce an in-text citation, called the information-prominent and author-prominent methods...

Information-prominent Author-prominent

For sources where there are four or more authors only put the first author then et al. e.g.:

(Mullins et el., 2013)

NOT

(Mullins, Davies, Poole and Browne, 2013)

Citing...tips

For website sources do not include the web address in the citation e.g.:

(Guardian, 2011)

NOT (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/

cifamerica/2011/aug/15/sustainability-us-credit-standard-and-poors, 2011)

Part 2

Reference List

EVERY citation must have a full reference at the end of your document in one list called the Reference List

Your references will be ordered alphabetically by author surname

The information included in each individual reference depends on the source
