This document discusses referencing styles and provides guidance on citing sources. It defines referencing and citing, and distinguishes between references and bibliographies. Reasons for referencing include acknowledging others' work, allowing readers to find sources, avoiding plagiarism, and adding credibility. The document reviews several referencing styles including APA, Chicago, and MLA styles. It provides examples of how to reference different source types such as books, journal articles, and websites. Referencing tools that can help manage citations are also introduced.
Broadly, a citation is a reference to a published or unpublished source (not always the original source). More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears.
Generally the combination of both the in-body citation and the bibliographic entry constitutes what is commonly thought of as a citation (whereas bibliographic entries by themselves are not).
References to single, machine-readable assertions in electronic scientific articles are known as nano-publications, a form of micro-attribution. Citation has several important purposes: to uphold intellectual honesty (or avoiding plagiarism), to attribute prior or unoriginal work and ideas to the correct sources, to allow the reader to determine independently whether the referenced material supports the author's argument in the claimed way, and to help the reader gauge the strength and validity of the material the author has used.
This dissertation examines the impacts of social movements through a multi-layered study of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement from the 1960s to the early 1980s. The study analyzes county-level data and three case studies to understand how the movement transformed social structures and faced constraints. Key events studied include the expansion of voting rights and gains in black political power, school desegregation, and anti-poverty programs. The dissertation challenges the argument that social movements are inconsequential by showing how the civil rights movement drove institutional changes in Mississippi through independent movement structures.
The document provides instructions for writing a critique of a book or article. It explains that a critique should provide a summary and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the work, including the thesis, organization, style, and values/assumptions of the author.

The document provides an overview of the different types of newspaper articles, including the key elements of a typical news article such as the headline, byline, lead paragraph, explanation and amplification, background information, quotes, and bibliography. It discusses local, national, international, feature, editorial, and column articles. The summary also outlines the basic structure and purpose of the lead paragraph, transitions, and inclusion of sources.
This document provides information on referencing and how to avoid plagiarism. It defines referencing as acknowledging sources of information and ideas through citations and a reference list. Referencing is important to avoid plagiarism and allow readers to verify claims. There are two parts to referencing - citing sources in the text and providing a reference list with full details of citations. The document outlines how to format references for different source types like books, journal articles, websites and more. It also explains what plagiarism is and how to properly cite sources in writing to avoid being accused of plagiarism.
The document provides guidance on what should be done before and while writing a literature review. It discusses that a literature review evaluates and synthesizes previous research on a topic, and places the current research in the context of existing literature. It emphasizes determining the scope of research, developing a thesis statement to guide the organization, and considering chronological, thematic, or methodological approaches to structure the discussion of sources. The literature review should introduce the topic, critically analyze relevant literature in the body, and conclude by discussing implications and directions for future work.
This document provides an overview of the typical sections in a research paper, including:

MLA (Modern Language Association) Style formatting is often used in various humanities disciplines.
In addition to the handbook, MLA also offers The MLA Style Center, a website that provides additional instruction and resources for writing and formatting academic papers. https://style.mla.org/
What is MLA?
The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th ed. supersedes both the 7th edition handbook and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing, 3rd ed. The style of documentation outlined in the 8th edition serves the needs of students who are writing research papers, as well as scholars who publish professionally. This presentation will mostly focus on MLA formatting and style concerns that affect writing research papers.
MLA style is often used in the following disciplines: humanities, languages, literature, linguistics, philosophy, communication, religion, and others.
MLA format provides writers with a uniform format for document layout and documenting sources. Proper MLA style shows that writers are conscientious of the standards of writing in their respective disciplines. Properly documenting sources also ensures that an author is not plagiarizing.

What does MLA regulate?
This slide presents three basic areas regulated by MLA students need to be aware of—document format, in-text citations, and works cited. The following slides provide detailed explanations regarding each area.
*
The 8th edition handbook introduces a new way to cite sources. Instead of a long list of rules, MLA guidelines are now based on a set of principles that may be used to cite any type of source.
The three guiding principles:
Cite simple traits shared by most works.Remember that there is more than one way to cite the same source.Make your documentation useful to readers.
MLA Update 2016
Principle 1: In previous versions of the MLA Handbook, an entry in the works-cited list was based on the source’s publication format (book, periodical, Web article, etc.). The issue with that system is that a work in a new type of medium could not be properly ci.
The document provides an overview of the American Psychological Association (APA) style format, which is commonly used for papers in the social sciences. It discusses the structure and formatting of APA papers, including general paper formatting, section headings, in-text citations, and references. The document serves as a guide for writing and formatting papers according to APA style.
This document provides an introduction to MLA format, including general guidelines for formatting papers in MLA style. Key aspects of MLA format covered include using parenthetical citations to attribute sources, double spacing the paper with 1-inch margins, and including a last name and page number header on each page other than the first. The document also discusses guidelines for preparing the Works Cited page in alphabetical order by author last name.
The document summarizes the key differences between the Modern Language Association (MLA) and American Psychological Association (APA) citation styles. MLA style is commonly used in the humanities and focuses on citing the author of a source. It does not require a title page and uses the author's last name and page number in the header on every page. APA style is used in the social sciences and emphasizes citing the date and title of a source instead of the author. It requires a title page with the paper title, author's name, and page numbers in headers. Both styles require 12 point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and 1-inch margins.
The document discusses the key components of MLA format, including the built-in paper format, in-text citations, and works cited list. The paper format specifies guidelines for margins, font, headers, paragraphs, and the title page. In-text citations correspond to sources in the works cited list and provide enough information to locate each source. The works cited list is on a separate page at the end and each source type, such as books, articles, and websites, has a specific citation style.

The document discusses the levels of an activity-based costing (ABC) system. It explains that under ABC, costs are first assigned to activities and then traced to products. There are four levels of costs: unit, batch, product, and facility. Unit costs are directly proportional to the number of units produced. Batch costs are proportional to the number of batches produced regardless of batch size. Product costs can be traced to a product line. Facility costs are incurred for the plant as a whole and cannot be traced to specific units or products. The document provides examples for each cost level.

The document discusses the concept of managerial hubris, which refers to excessive pride or self-confidence held by senior managers that can lead to cognitive biases and poor decision making. Managerial hubris can result in empire building within an organization as managers seek to expand their power and influence. It is also related to mergers and acquisitions if acquiring company managers overestimate their ability to manage target companies. This can lead to winners' curse, where the winning bid exceeds the true value of the target. The hubris hypothesis suggests managerial hubris in acquisitions can result in bids over the intrinsic value and ultimately lower shareholder returns.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
