Citing and referencing
 

Summary

The important things to remember about acknowledging your sources:

  • referencing and citing generally mean the same thing
  • make sure you acknowledge any facts or ideas that you draw from other sources
  • collect the citation details you need while you are researching
  • find out what style your department wants you to use. If they don't specify one, pick the one favoured by your Faculty or discipline and learn it
  • if in doubt, ask your lecturer or tutor for help on their preferred style
  • whatever style you use, be consistent

If you need more help contact the Library or Language and Learning.
