Teaching Referencing And Citation at De Montfort UniversityAmanda Poulton
Plagiarism and bad academic practice is a growing concern in the academic community. At De Montfort University, Library Services are increasingly teaching referencing skills to students in an effort to raise awareness of the importance of referencing and reduce incidents of plagiarism and poor academic practice. This presentation was presented at a UC&R event on teaching by Amanda Poulton, outlining the approach to teaching referencing at DMU in the context of the literature on learning, in particular peer learning and interaction.
Are you putting together a literature review or a works cited for your scholarly work? Are you unclear about how to cite your sources? Check out this presentation to learn about the many different style manuals, what they are used for, and why they are so important for avoiding plagiarism!

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

22. TYPES OF REFERENCING
1. Harvard referencing
2. Vancouver style of references
3. APA style of references
23. 1. Harvard Referencing
Harvard is a style of referencing, primarily used by university students, to cite
information sources.
Two types of citations are included:
1. In-text citations are used when directly quoting or paraphrasing a source. They
are located in the body of the work and contain a fragment of the full citation.
E.g.: "After that I lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of
Europe…"(Fitzgerald, 2004).
2. Reference lists are located at the end of the work and display full citations for
sources used in the assignment. E.g.: Fitzgerald, F. (2004). The great Gatsby.
New York: Scribner.
24. Harvard reference list overview
Citations are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.
Each citation in a reference list includes various pieces of information including the:
1) Name of the author(s)
2) Year published
3) Title
4) City published
5) Publisher
6) Pages used
Generally, Harvard reference list citations follow this format:
Last name, First initial. (Year published). Title. City: publisher, page(s).
25. 2. Vancouver style of references
The Vancouver style or uniform requirements style, is based on an American
national standards institute (ANSI) standard adapted by the national library of
medicine (NLM) for databases such as medicine.
It was developed in Vancouver in 1978 by editors of medical journals.
Vancouver is a numbered referencing style commonly used in medicine and
science, and consists of:
oCitations to someone else's work in the text, indicated by the use of a number
oA sequentially numbered reference list at the end of the document providing full
details of the corresponding in-text reference
26. 1. Citing one author
Recent research (1) indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is
increasing.
Or
Recent research1 indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is
increasing.
Citations using the Vancouver Style
27. Citations using the Vancouver Style
2. Citing more than one piece of work at the same time
If you want to cite several pieces of work in the same sentence, you will need to
include the citation number for each piece of work. A hyphen should be used to
link numbers which are inclusive, and a comma used where numbers are not
consecutive.
The following is an example where works 6, 7, 8, 9, 13 and 15 have been cited in
the same place in the text.
Several studies (6–9,13,15) have examined the effect of congestion charging
in urban areas.
28. Citations using the Vancouver Style
3. Citing the author’s name in your text
You can use the author’s name in your text, but you must insert the citation
number as well.
As emphasized by Watkins (2) carers of diabetes sufferers ‘require perseverance
and an understanding of humanity’ (p.1).
4. Citing more than one author’s name in your text
If a work has more than one author and you want to cite author names in your text,
use ‘et al.’After the first author.
Simons et al. (3) state that the principle of effective stress is ‘imperfectly known
and understood by many practicing engineers’ (p.4).
29. When using the Vancouver style, the reference list should be in numerical order
and each number matches and refers to the one in the text.
The list should be at the end of your work.
Books, paper or electronic journal articles, etc., Are written in a particular format
that must be followed.
References using the Vancouver Style
30. References using the Vancouver Style
For all types of references the key bits of information you need to start with are:
i. Author or editor
ii. Date of publication / broadcast / recording
iii. Title of the item
This will form the basis of each reference you have to write.
31. Depending on the type of material you want to reference you will also
need other bits of information, such as:

35. 3. APA STYLE
•APA is one of many referencing styles used in academic writing.
•APA stands for American Psychological Association.
36. IN TEXT CITATIONS
•Even though you have put someone else’s ideas or information in your own words (i.e.
paraphrased), you still need to show where the original idea or information came from.
This is all part of the academic writing process.
•When citing in text with in an assignment, use the author/s (or editor/s) last name
followed by the year of publication.
37. Example:
Water is a necessary part of every person’s diet and of all the nutrients a body needs to function,
it requires more water each day than any other nutrient (Whitney & Rolfes, 2011).
or
Whitney and Rolfes (2011) state the body requires many nutrients to function but highlight that
water is of greater importance than any other nutrient.
or
Water is an essential element of anyone’s diet and Whitney and Rolfes (2011) emphasise it is
more important than any other nutrient.
Reference list entry:
Whitney, E., & Rolfes, S. (2011). Understanding nutrition (12th ed.). Australia: Wadsworth
Cengage Learning.
Note: this book did not have a city for place of publication, just a country.
IN TEXT CITATIONS
38. Three, four or five authors
If a work has three (3), four (4) or five (5) authors, cite all authors the first time and
from then on include only the last name of the first author followed by the words et al.
(‘et al.’ is Latin for ‘and others’)
Example:
Research can be defined as a systematic method of creating new knowledge or a way to
verify existing knowledge (Watson, McKenna, Cowman & Keady, 2008).
Deciding on a research method demands the researcher consider carefully the problem
or area of investigation being researched (Watson et al., 2008).
Reference list entry:
Watson, R., McKenna, H., Cowman, S., & Keady, K. (Eds.). (2008). Nursing reseach:
Designs and methods. Edinburgh, Scotland: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier.
Note: The people were identified as the editors, hence ‘(Eds.)’ is a shortened version of
Editors.
39. Six or seven authors
If a work has six (6) or more authors, cite only the last name of the first author followed
by et al. each time you refer to this work.
Example:
(Mikosch et al., 2010)
Reference list entry: When a source has up to seven (7) authors, include all names in
the reference list.
Mikosch, P., Hadrawa, T., Laubreiter, K., Brandl, J., Pilz, J., Stettner, H., & Grimm, G.
(2010). Effectiveness of respiratory-sinus-arrhythmia biofeedback on state-
anxiety in patients undergoing coronary angiography. Journal of Advanced
Nursing, 66(5), 1101-1110.
40. Eight or more authors
When there are eight (8) or more authors, cite only the last name of the first author
followed by ‘et al.’ each time you refer to this work.
Example: (Vissing et al., 2004)
Note in the reference list: When there are eight (8) or more authors, include the first six
(6) authors names and then use ellipsis points (...) before concluding with the last
author’s name.
Reference list entry:
Vissing, K., Brink, M., Lonbro, S., Sorensen, H., Overgaard, K., Danborg, K., ...
Aagaard, P. (2008). Muscle adaptations to plyometric vs. resistance training in
untrained young men. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 22(6),
1799-1810.
41. Groups as authors
The names of groups that serve as authors (e.g., corporations, associations, government
agencies) are usually written in full each time they appear in a text citation. The names of
some group authors (e.g., associations, government agencies) are spelled out in the first
citation and abbreviated thereafter. In deciding whether to abbreviate the name of a group
author, use the general rule that you need to give enough information in the text citation
for the reader to locate the entry in the reference list without difficulty. Some groups are
recognised by an abbreviation (e.g., WHO for World Health Organisation). Refer to the
APA manual, 2010, p. 176.
First text citation: (Ministry of Health [MOH], 2007).
Second & subsequent citations: (MOH, 2007).
Reference list entry:
Ministry of Health. (2007). Looking at long-term residential care in a rest home or
hospital: What you need to know. Wellington, New Zealand: Author.
42. REFERENCING IN APA STYLE
Basic rules
1. The reference list is arranged in alphabetical order of the authors’ last names.
2. If there is more than one work by the same author, order them by publication date
– oldest to newest (therefore a 2004 publication would appear before a 2008
publication).
3. If there is no author the title moves to that position and the entry is alphabetized by
the first significant word, excluding words such as “A” or “The”. If the title is long,
it may be shortened when citing in text.
4. Use “&” instead of “and” when listing multiple authors of a source.
5. The first line of the reference list entry is left-hand justified, while all subsequent
lines are consistently indented.
43. 6. Capitalise only the first word of the title and of the subtitle, if there is one, plus
any proper names – i. e. only those words that would normally be capitalised.
7. Italicise the title of the book, the title of the journal/serial and the title of the
web document.
8. Do not create separate lists for each type of information source. Books, articles,
web documents, brochures, etc. are all arranged alphabetically in one list.
REFERENCING IN APA STYLE
44. BOOKS
1. Author/s or Editor/s last name (surname) appears first, followed by initials (Bloggs, J.).
2. Year of publication in brackets (2010).
3. Full title of the book. Capitalise only the first word of the title and the subtitle, if any, and
