Referencing 22
What is referencing? A reference is needed whenever you are using an idea/definition/concept/experimental results from another author or source In-text citation versus reference list An in-text citation is used in the body of your essay/report straight after your paraphrased your work to demonstrate where you got that idea All sources cited in the body of your text needs to be included in an alphabetical reference list at the end of your work -and you should not include any references for which there were no intext citations
Why do I have to reference? Validates your work, and demonstrates to the reader (your ela) that you have researched thoroughly Citations and references help readers find the source that has influenced your work Helps you to avoid plagiarism, which is considered a very serious offense (more on this later)
Quote or paraphrase? Direct quote Moran argues that it is important to trust the teacher to use professional judgement and follow the right path rather than the marked path (2008, p.213). Paraphrase If a teacher s professional judgment suggests an alternative approach, they must be permitted to take it (Moran, 2008).
Referencing styles About this Unit in Blackboardlists which referencing style you need to use for your unit e.g. APA 6 th Edition or Harvard If in doubt always check with your elaas they will be marking your assignment. Both referencing systems follow the basic author/year model but there are differences (e.g. Harvard always uses page numbers, APA only uses page numbers for direct quotations not paraphrasing) In-text citations will always have the author s surname, followed by the year of publication Eg. Turner (2010, p.23) observes that blah blah blah. OR It has been suggested that blah blahblah (Turner 2010, p. 23).

Higher Education Research & Development, 26(2), 133-146. doi:10.1080/07294360701310771 Harvard Buckridge, M & Guest, R 2007, 'A conversation about pedagogical responses to increased diversity in university classrooms', Higher Education Research & Development, vol. 26, no. 2, pp. 133-46, viewed 16 September 2008, via Informaworld database.
Referencing tips Referencing anything that comes from anywhere other than your head A citation at the end of a paragraph only covers you for that sentence; the rest is potential plagiarism. Synthesise your sources; aim for a number of sources per paragraph/idea Build your reference list as you go; do not leave referencing until you ve finished
Referencing styles Psychology and Education students use APA style All other students (i.e. Business students) use Harvard style You can find links to the referencing style guides and referencing tool here: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/lib/studyhelp/referencing.htm This is a useful site for how to format audio-visual material in APA format: http://www.usq.edu.au/library/referencing/apa-referencingguide#audiovisual_and_other_media NB. Learning and Communicating Online you can use either so use the referencing style that you will be using for the rest of your course
