Referencing & Plagiarism
Workshop with Bally Binning (16/03/2021)
We focused on Harvard Referencing in this workshop.
- Directly Quote the source material (uses quotation marks)
- Paraphrase (write idea in your own words)
- Summarise (give a broad overview of the source - good for experiments/studies)
For higher grades, tutors look for paraphrasing.
To avoid plagiarism, you must cite the source you are referring to in the text. The citation can either go before or after the reference.
e.g. (Singh & Doherty, 2004, p.11-12)
If there are more than 2 authors, you can use 'et al.' after the first listed author.
The citation is part of the word count.
Direct quotes are also part of the word count.
Secondary Referencing
If you are referencing sources referred to in another source, you can use the phrases 'quoted in' or 'cited in'.
e.g, (Horton, 2012, cited in Chu, 2016)
Primary Source
Secondary Source
-------------------
Full details of the source go at the end of the essay in the bibliography. This is not part of the word count. You can find this information on your source either using Cite Them Right (login with MyUniHub as it's all paid for by MDX), or by searching for the source in the Library and clicking the quotation marks.
Hope this helps future me when I start my essay!! Good luck :)
