What is Referencing?
Referencing means acknowledging your source: in the body of
your work (in-text reference or citation) AND linking your
citations to your list of works cited (reference list) or
bibliography.
(Neville, 2012).
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Citation and References
Citation is the mention of the source’s author(s) in the text or body
of the assignment.
It comprises of the author’s surname and year of publication
References are a list of all sources you used for writing your
assignment and is placed after the conclusion of your assignment.
References contains the full information of their source.
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Why do Referencing?
It demonstrates that you have undertaken
research to find out what other authors
have done in the similar topic areas.
Referencing makes your work more
convincing to the readers as it allows
them to track down the sources you used
to get more information.
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Why do Referencing Cont.?
Referencing is a good academic
practice as it allows you to give credit
to other researchers and acknowledge
their ideas.
To avoid being accused of plagiarism
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
When do You Need Referencing?
When you take any information from
other sources, you must acknowledge
them.
What do you need to do if it is your
own idea?
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Answer…
If it is your own idea, then you are not expected to put any
reference for your original idea.
However, if you are making a critique of other authors'
ideas, then you must include a reference for those particular
ideas.
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Academic Referencing Styles
There are many referencing styles such as:
American Psychological Association (APA),
Modern Language Association (MLA),
American Medical Association (AMA),
The Harvard referencing style etc.
You have to follow the referencing style recommended by your institution
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
What are Academic Sources?
While writing your assignment, you will
come across many academic sources that
will help you to develop your argument
and logic.
 Academic sources (such as books and
journals) serve as evidence to support
your claims.
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Finding Suitable Academic Sources
Library resources (library catalogue)
Online resources (reliable)
Google scholar
Oxford Press
Business Source Premier
ProQuest
EBSCO host
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Acknowledging Sources
There are two ways to do that:
 Paraphrase and citation
Adams (2017) claims that academic integrity has both
individual and institutional perspectives
 Quotation and citation
According to Adams: “The point is that emphasis is
often laid on individual level plagiarism but
institutional dimension is largely overlooked…”
(Adams, 2017: 91)
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
How Many Sources do You
Need for Your Assignment?
There is no specific limit to the amount of sources you need
to include in your assignment.
However, it is always better to support your claim by using
the correct references
Copyright © 2021 Talent & Skills HuB
Online Referencing Generator
You can use Microsoft (MS) Word referencing function, or
downloadable softwares like Mendeley, Endnote etc.
Also Google scholar, Ebsco, Business source premier,
ProQuest, Regional Business Premier etc. are useful tools for
generating bibliographies or references.
However, you should endeavour to know how to manually
do referencing without using any of the online reference
generators
