Referencing Guide
Why provide references?
References are used to:
- supply evidence on which the author's (you as
researcher's) statements, arguments and conclusions are based
- enable the reader (academic staff, fellow
students) to consult the original source themselves
- acknowledge the author(s) from which the
information was taken
This is generally done by:
- clearly identifying the source (author and
work)
- precisely stating where (on which page,
electronic location) or under which circumstances (personal interview, e-mail) you found
the information
