Referencing

In your assignments, you need to reference the sources of information you have used correctly to:

• Avoid plagiarism
• Support an argument by referring to an authoritative source
• Allow the reader to find and check a source

Use the guides below to reference in a particular style.

The reference management tools below make saving your references and generating reference lists in various styles easy.

Reference management tools allow you to store and manage the references that you gather in the course of your research. Most of these tools share the following common features:

• References can be added manually, by importing a PDF or a reference from a database
• Organise your references into groups or folders
• Share your references with other people
• Create a reference list in a chosen referencing style
• Insert in-text references in a chosen referencing style while writing in Microsoft Word

Contact your faculty librarian for individual help and support.  Alternatively, you could organise a workshop for your group.
