Referencing

The basic principle of referencing is to support and identify the evidence you use in your assignments. You direct readers of your work to the source of evidence. This can be done by presenting for 'citing' either the name of the source, or an identification number, in the main text of your work. The full source detail is given later, either in a footnote/endnote, and/or in an alphabetical list at the end of the assignment. [Neville, C 2010].

Terms

Citation - a passage or phrase quoted within your text which is supported with evidence of its source.

References - an organized listing of the works that you have read and specifically referred to (cited) in your assignment, placed at the end of the document.

Bibliography - a list of everything you read in preparation for writing an assignment.

Citation styles -

  1. Harvard
  2. APA Style
  3. IEEE Engineering
