• Accurate referencing reflects good academic practice and enhances the presentation of the work: it
shows that writing is based on knowledge and informed by appropriate academic reading.
• We need referencing to ensure that anyone reading any work can trace the sources that have been
used in the development of the work, and give due credit for the research efforts and quality.
• If you do not acknowledge another writer’s work or ideas, you could be accused of plagiarism.

Three ways:
(a) Manually type them in.
(b) Save files from online search facilities.
(c) Search online databases through Endnote and retrieve the references directly to your Endnote
library.

22. Information about references
Each Reference:
• Stores all the information needed to cite it in a reference list (e.g. in a lab report or essay).
• Within a library, each reference has a unique record number which cannot be changed.
• The fields (author, year etc) can be modified, deleted or new ones added.
• There are many reference types (book, journal article, newpaper article, chart, equation, etc...)
