- 2. Department Why reference? “Referencing is the process of acknowledging the sources you have used in writing your essay, assignment or piece of work. It allows the reader to access your source documents as quickly and easily as possible in order to verify, if necessary, the validity of your arguments and the evidence on which they are based.” - Palgrave Study Skills Online, http://www.palgrave.com/studentstudyskills/page/referencing-and- avoiding-plagiarism/ 2

Passing off as your own a piece of work that is partly or wholly the work of another student Citing and referencing sources that you have not used Quoting, summarising or paraphrasing material in your assignment without citing the original source 'Recycling' a piece of your own work that you have previously submitted for another module or course (i.e. self-plagiarism).

Editor's Notes
- #3: “[it] helps to demonstrate that you have read widely, and considered and analysed the writings of others. […] Most importantly, good referencing is essential to avoid any possible accusation of plagiarism.”
- #4: Plagiarism is a term that describes the unacknowledged use of someone's work. This includes material or ideas from any (published or unpublished) sources, whether print, web-based (even if freely available) or audiovisual.”
