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 presentYour purpose is not to explain to someone who does not knowDisplay 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 subjectReferencing allows to you to demonstrate the breadth and depth of your reading
To enable the reader to locate the sources mentioned in your paperLecturers need to be able to locate where you obtained each quoteThey may be interested in the idea and want to read more themselvesThey 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 themFailure to acknowledge sources is intellectual theftRecognition 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 elses work without acknowledgement Deliberately pretending someone elses work is your ownUnacceptable: poor cut-and-paste practice
If in doubt acknowledge your source (unless it is common knowledge)
