For students to consolidate their
understanding of how to reference written
work within Faculty guidelines
To enable students to perfect good
referencing techniques which is a
requirement for credible academic work

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
understand the requirements in academic work and
the purpose of referencing;
identify Harvard referencing style and be aware that
there are other referencing styles;
include appropriate information in an in-text citation
and also within a reference list, based on Harvard
referencing style;
identify where references are needed in a piece of
work to avoid plagiarism and;
construct a list of references using Harvard
referencing style, which are in accordance with the
requirements of the Faculty of Health & Social Care

Academic Work (Writing)
Preserving Integrity & Achieving credibility
Requires work to be presented in one’s own
writing
Involves summarizing, synthesizing, analysing or
evaluating other people’s arguments.
Involves changing more than just one odd word or
phrase from one’s source material
It is acceptable to repeat some words or phrases,
particularly where these are part of the technical
vocabulary of the discipline
©Loke 2014

The purpose of referencing
To acknowledge others’ ideas in one’s own
work
To avoid allegations of deliberately
attempting to pass off someone else’s work
as one’s own
©Loke 2014

Other important purposes of
referencing
To show that you have explored and UNDERSTOOD the
relevant literature, and have put them in your own words.
To show that your arguments and discussions have gone
through a process of ‘internalising’ the relevant literature.
To help readers identify where you found the material so
they can find it should they wish to do so in order to:
•continue pursuing the arguments you have presented.
•critique your work and expand the knowledge.

How are abbreviations used?
Abbreviations are only used for words or phrases that are repeated a number of
times throughout your document.
Abbreviations should be used sparingly.
Abbreviations should still be explained when first used. You therefore need to
write out the full name (with the abbreviation in parentheses) on the first use.
For example:
Interprofessional education (IPE) in health and social care is widely promoted
globally (World Health Organisation (WHO), 2010) to improve collaborative
practice across different professions. The general claims are that interprofessional
practice can provide a higher quality of skilled care, respond with innovative
solutions to complex multi-dimensional problems, and mitigate critical shortages
of professional workers. To this end, policies across the UK have enshrined
aspirations for improved IPE (Department of Health (DH), 2007).
Avoid using abbreviations at the start of any sentences, even if the abbreviations
have been explained when first used in earlier discussions.
For example:
Nurses were expected to be able to demonstrate....(Department of Health (DH),
2009). This was agreed by Thompson (2012) who insisted that nurses should able
to perform such functions effectively. The Department of Health (DH, 2009) had
developed guidelines for…

Dr. Jean Watson’s caring theory is well known in nursing. The three major
elements of her theory are the carative factors, the transpersonal caring
relationship, and the caring occasion/caring moment (Watson, 2001).
Her carative factors endeavor to “honor the human dimensions of
nursing’s work and the inner life world and subjective experiences of the
people we serve” (Watson, 1997, p. 50).

and our role in supporting the NHS to embrace good corporate

where there is exciting potential to apply much of the learning from
other areas such as the NHS and local government.” (Department of
