Your paper is meant to draw on the
work of others and
correct referencing is expected
Why reference?
To show that you have readYour audience is most likely already
familiar with much of the information you will present
Your purpose is not to explain to someone who does not know
Display your new knowledgeShow that you have read about the topic
and thought about what you are supposed to in the light of this reading
To show what you have read
At university you are expected to read widely and deeply in your subject
Referencing allows to you to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your reading
To enable the reader to locate the sources mentioned in your paper
Lecturers need to be able to locate where you obtained each quote
They may be interested in the idea and want to read more themselves
They may want to check that you have expressed it accurately and not misunderstood the original author's meaning
To acknowledge your sources and avoid plagiarism
Intellectual property-the concept that ideas and findings belong to the person who first formulates them
Failure to acknowledge sources is intellectual theft
Recognition that new knowledge is built upon the work of those who did it before, and they must be given credit for their contribution
What is plagiarism?• Unintentionally using someone else’s work
without acknowledgement • Deliberately pretending someone else’s
work is your own• Unacceptable: poor cut-and-paste
practice
• If in doubt… acknowledge your source (unless it is common knowledge)
