Referencing - Your Obligations

Comic

If you draw upon other people's work in your writing and research and do not acknowledge those sources, you can be accused of plagiarism.

  • Citations allow your readers to follow up sources you have referred to, so citing is in the interests of scholarly investigation and the sharing of ideas.

  • Acknowledgement of another's work through accurate citations is not only good academic practice but also a legal requirement. Plagiarism can be deliberate or accidental: both forms are unacceptable.

Referencing Checklist

These resources provide an overview

You will need to refer to an APA style guide
  • A style guide is an essential reference for the requirements of APA, they address the ordering and formatting of the reference list and creating in-text citations.
Be aware that citations created using automated generator tools won't be 100% correct.
  • Before you submit an assessment task, we highly recommend you cross-check your references against the sample citations provided in an APA 6th ed. style guide and correct any errors.
     
    • You should cross check the capitalization, punctuation and manually add missing elements
    • Note: APA 6th style, requires you to include a DOI (digital object identifier) for electronic journal articles citations, if the article has one. The DOI usually appears at the top of the article or in the database record for the article and came into use from the year 2000. See http://library.unimelb.edu.au/recite/apa/journal for more information.
