College of South Wales.
Educational work; essays, assignments, initiatives, dissertations and so forth ought to at all times embrace
references. When you may have used info, knowledge or opinion from one other supply, that’s
anyone else’s work, you need to acknowledge it by utilizing a reference (typically known as a
quotation). This consists of direct quotations or paraphrasing (utilizing your personal interpretation of
anyone else’s work).

Referencing permits the reader to hint your sources and browse them for themselves.

transient annotation of its supply. The reference that seems on the finish offers the total reference
(see examples later) in a separate Reference part
The Reference part (typically known as a Bibliography) will include an alphabetical
itemizing of all of the references used (see examples later).
The distinction between a Reference part and Bibliography is that the Reference part
incorporates the entire sources really referred to in your work while a Bibliography might
include sources from which you’ll have drawn concepts or inspirations which aren’t
essentially referred to in your textual content.
Throughout your research you’ll most likely come throughout a number of completely different conventions for
references and citations. The 2 most typical are the Harvard system and the Vancouver
(or numeric) system. The Harvard System is the strategy of referencing that you need to use
for all assignments submitted to the Enterprise College.
You will discover the “Referencing & Avoiding Plagiarism” examine abilities within the Examine Expertise
organisation in Blackboard a helpful and informative instrument to consult with. This supplies a collection of
workout routines for college kids who’re much less snug with utilizing referencing and is likely to be a helpful
further supply so that you can observe what you’ll learn on this doc.
