Unit 10: What is it?

Referencing is a way of acknowledging that you have used the ideas and written material belonging to another author. It demonstrates that you have undertaken an appropriate literature search and that you have carried out appropriate reading

 

The following are examples of sources you might use and need to reference:

  • Books
  • Journal articles
  • Electronic journal articles
  • World Wide Web pages
  • Emails
  • Video, films, CD-Roms and audio tape recordings
  • Newspapers
  • Conference papers
  • Pamphlets
  • Radio or TV broadcasts (you must check that your lecturer is happy for you to use this type of material in your assignment)
  • Personal communication
  • Interviews (if this is a personal interview, you must always ask permission of the interviewee before using such material)
