What is bibliographic referencing?
When writing an assignment or dissertation
your own thoughts and ideas build on those of
other writers and researchers. It is essential
that you acknowledge those sources of
information by:
– Acknowledging the source within the text.
– Giving full details of each item in a reference list.

Why do I need to do it?
• To enable your lecturer to follow up the references and
find the book or journal article in a library.
• To enable your lecturer to check the accuracy of the
information you’ve given.
• To demonstrate to your lecturer that you have read widely
a range of opinions.
• To avoid plagiarism (using someone else’s ideas as your
own.)

Why do I need to do it?
Referencing is a transferrable skill!
• When writing a report for work, your reader can
easily see where you obtained your information.
• Shows employers you can find relevant
information for its needs and apply it
appropriately.
• If you publish a paper in a scholarly journal you
will need to use the style recommended by that
journal.

APA 6th
What does it look like?
Go to pdf
Information Services and Systems
Really? It looks fiddly.
In short - Yes, it is!
Be careful with your references. Every
comma, full stop and use of italics is used for a
specific reason. You can’t change the way it
looks.
Stick to the style and be consistent.
