Referencing

Referencing shows the breadth of your research and provides details of the sources that you have used to support your arguments and conclusions.

By acknowledging the sources used in your work, you will also avoid plagiarism.

All reference styles are made up of two parts - the in text citation and the full reference.

Depending on the style the citation may be the author's surname and date of publication or a number assigned to each source as it is used.

It is important to keep track of your sources as you research so you can show all the work you have done and acknowledge where you are using the ideas of others as evidence.

Which referencing style should I use?

For most assignments, students will use  Cite Them Right Harvard .

However, the referencing style can depend on the module. For example, if you are studying a dissertation module in some subjects you may be asked to use a journal-specific style.

Before you start, always check your module handbook and assignment guideline or ask your tutor.

Cite Them Right

Cite Them Right will help you to reference just about any source you might need to use and understand how to avoid plagiarism. It also includes a  Referencing tutorial to help you develop your skills.

Cite them Right includes extensive guidance as well as examples of the Harvard, APA 7th edition, IEEE, OSCOLA, Vancouver and Chicago referencing styles. To see the correct format, just select the type of source you want to reference and then filter the results by referencing style.
