Referencing
Guidelines developed by the Department to assist in using references within essays and projects:
http://www.york.ac.uk/healthsciences/stud/studintr.yku/Prereg/refstud.doc
Recommendations for good practice, based on commonly adopted principles and conventions
The Use Of References
Used in essays, dissertations, projects, other forms of assessment, and articles for publication
The writer will need to present information, make statements, provide analysis, and put forward new ideas.
To substantiate your arguments and prevent plagiarism
Do this by either quoting directly from a published source, or by providing a reference to the authors whose work supports what you are saying
Plagiarism
This is defined by the University as the incorporation within your work, without proper acknowledgement, of material derived from the work (published or unpublished) of another. The Student Handbook explains more about plagiarism, which is a form of academic misconduct
Plagiarism exercise
Three Principles Underpin Referencing:
Consistency
Completeness of information
Accuracy of information
System Recommended By The Department Of Health Studies
The Harvard system is strongly recommended by the Department for consistency of teaching and learning.
A Referencing System Has Two Elements: how a reference is cited within the body of
written work how a reference list is presented at the end of
the written work
Citing within the text Examples of ways to incorporate sources into
the body of the assignment:
There are basically two approaches to cultural analysis, namely the classificatory and the interpretative (Lawton 1983)
Lawton (1983) differentiates between
cultural invariants and cultural
Internet Referencing
The same principles used in other forms of referencing apply also to internet referencing. Warning! Be careful when using information found through a general internet search. Not everything on the internet is of good academic quality
Where you use electronic journals, the referencing within the text is the same as for any journal (ie author’s name and date of publication)
Secondary Referencing
ALWAYS attempt to check the primary (ie original) source , particularly if it is recent and readily available. If it is not possible to check the original source, however, use the following format:
Thomas (1978 cited by Gould 2003) suggests that hand washing is a fundamental and important infection control technique
Details of the publication by Gould will appear in the reference list
Direct Quotations
If a writer’s work is quoted directly, the quotation must be 100% accurate and be enclosed in inverted commas; it should be followed by the writer’s name, date of publication of the work and the page number(s) of the quotation:
‘Communication is one of the most important skills of a nurse.’ (Marner 1998, p. 43)
A Reference List
Consists of all citations in your work; this is all that is normally required
Must be presented in alphabetical order, primarily by author
Where there is no named author (for example an organisation such as the NMC, or an Act of Parliament), then the the first letter of the corporate author or the name of the Act is used
How A Reference List Is Presented At The End Of Written Work
