When do you not need to give references?• References are not required for items of general knowledge or
common knowledge.
• Common knowledge includes facts that are well known within the community in which they are used.
• An example:

What if you don’t reference?
Plagiarism is the term used when someone copies another person’s ideas or opinions as their own and doesn’t acknowledge the original source of the information.
