Hands on

Assignments and Reports

• Read widely and analyze the work of others

• Use as many sources as you can (books, journals,

newspapers, reports, web etc.)

• Read at an appropriate academic level

• Use good quality sources

Why Referencing

It’s good academic practice and improves presentation

It allows you to: • acknowledge the work of others

• allows your tutor to differentiate between your own work and the work of others and to locate the sources you have used

It allows you to demonstrate that: • You have gathered evidence to support your ideas/ arguments

• You have used credible, good quality sources

• Have read widely

• AND have read at an appropriate academic level

Plagiarism

• If you do not cite + ref ideas or quotes from other authors you may be

accused of plagiarism!

•

• Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work as your

own.

• It’s academic theft!

• To avoid plagiarism you MUST always note accurately and fully the

details of all the sources you use

Books

• Author(s)/ editor(s) name(s)

• Book title

• Publication date

• Edition (if not the first)

• Place of publication

• Publisher name

• Page numbers used

Electronic resources

• Web address/DOI(digital object identifier)

• Author/ title of source used

• Date of publication (if available)

• Page numbers used (if available)

• Date accessed

• Is it an e-book, e-journal, e-mail, discussion list, blog etc.?

Journal articles

• Name(s) of article author(s)

• Title of the article

• Title of the journal

Conferences

Collect details and mention in your work

Cite and ref styles

• IEEE Style ( numeric)

• Harvard style (author/ date)

• American Psychological Assoc. (author/ date)

• Modern Language Assoc. (author/ date)

• Modern Humanities Research Assoc. (author/ date)

• Chicago, Vancouver & Footnote (all numeric)

**ask your tutor which system you should use**

When must I provide a citation?

• Quote directly: use another person’s ideas in their words

• Paraphrase: present another person’s ideas in your words

• Summarise: express another person’s ideas in fewer words

• Use ideas, theories, facts, experiments, case studies, from a source

• Adopt another person’s research method, survey or experiment design

• Use statistics, tables, diagrams etc. – not just words! (see reference list handout)

Numeric style

Citation

• According to Myers[1] the reason for….

The reference is presented as a footnote at the bottom of the

page or at the end of your work:

[1] Myers, D. (2008) Construction economics: a new approach, 2nd ed.,

London: Taylor and Francis, p.159

No citation required

• Your own ideas, theories, arguments, conclusions

• Surveys and experiments designed and carried out by you

• Your own research method

• Very basic common knowledge: i.e. Dubai in UAE

BUT

• Dubai is in the UAE and has a population of 530,000 (cite source!)

IEEE Style uses a notational method of referencing when referring to a source of information within

the text of a document.

In its simplest form, a citation is given in the text, consisting of a number enclosed by square brackets:

The full details of the source are given in a numerical reference list at the end of the

document:

1."...end of the line for my research [13]."

2."The theory was first put forward in 1987 [1].“

3."Scholtz [2] has argued that......."

4."Several recent studies [3, 4, 15, 16] have suggested that..."

5."For example, see [7]."
