• Summary
Reference and Citing
• REFERENCE: the detailed description of the

document from which you have obtained your
information. Referencing is a way of demonstrating
that you have done that reading.
• CITING: acknowledging within your text the

document from which you have obtained your
information.

Reference Vs. Bibliography
• The terms „References‟ and „Bibliography‟

are often used synonymously, but there is a
difference in meaning between them.
• References are the items you have read and

specifically referred to (or cited) in your work
, and your list of sources at the end of the
assignment will be headed „References‟.
http://www.brad.ac.uk/management/media/management/els/References-and-Bibliographies.pdf
Reference vs. Bibliography
• Bibliography is a list of everything you read -

whether or not you referred specifically to it .
• Normally contain sources that have been cited
and also those found to be influential, but
decided not to cite.
• A bibliography can give a tutor an overview of
which authors have influenced your ideas and
arguments even if you do not specifically refer
to them.
http://iskillzone.uwe.ac.uk/RenderPages/RenderConstellation.aspx?Context=10&Area=8&Room=25&Constellation=80
Why do we need reference?
• To acknowledge others works

• To allow others (readers) to find the original

sources easily (cited reference)
• To get recognition & authentication of the
work.
• To make the work informative. (Quality)
• To trace the intellectual development of the
ideas you present.

• To avoid plagiarism
Plagiarism
Examples:
• the verbatim copying of others work
withoutacknowledgement.
• the close paraphrasing of others work by
simply changing a few words of altering the
order of presentation.
• Coping others idea
• the unacknowledged quotation of phrases.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE REFERENCED?
• Has it been presented formally into the public

domain in some way?
• Has it been presented in a tangible form? (Printed
material, the Internet, a public talk/lecture etc).
• Does someone have an ownership of it? Look for
a named author or writer, or
organization, including a website or host?
• Is the information presented in the source in
question outside the realm of „common
knowledge‟ ?
http://www.brad.ac.uk/management/media/management/els/References-and-Bibliographies.pdf
When..?
• To give the source of tables, pics, statistics and diagrams

which might be copied or have been a source of idea.
• When describing a theory, model or practice associated
with a particular writer.
• To give credibility to an argument presented by you.
• When giving emphasis to a particular idea that has found
a measure of agreement.
• To inform the reader of sources of direct quotations or
definitions.
• When paraphrasing another person's idea that you feel is
particularly significant.

Some basics, APA Style
• APA style requires authors to use the past tense or

present perfect tense when using signal phrases to
describe earlier research,
• for example, Jones (1998) found or Jones (1998) has
found
• If you are referring to an idea from another work but
NOT directly quoting the material, or making
reference to an entire book -make reference to the
author and year of publication and not the page
number in your in-text reference.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/176393180/Apa-Style-Format
It is good to use quotation when
• You want to analyze or challenge the quotation in

question or if you feel the quotation supports your
own argument or point of view.
• You want to add interest or impact to an introduction
or conclusion.
• If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need
to include the author, year of publication, and the
page number for the reference (preceded by "p.").
• According to Jones (1998), "Students often had
difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their
first time" (p. 199).

http://www.scribd.com/doc/176393180/Apa-Style-Format
Quotation..
• Place direct quotations that are 40 words, or longer, in

a free-standing block of typewritten lines, and omit
quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new
line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin.
• Jones's (1998) study found the following:

Students often had difficulty using APA
style, especially when it was their first time
……… teacher for help. (p. 199)
http://www.scribd.com/doc/176393180/Apa-Style-Format
Some basics..

have page number in citation
• Secondary Referencing
• “Ivan Illich (1981), as summarised by Sherman and

Judkins (1995 p.121) has suggested that „shadow
work‟…..
• Johnson argued that...(as cited in Smith, 2003, p. 102).
• In full reference only give your source book
http://www.scribd.com/doc/176393180/Apa-Style-Format
Some basics
• A Work by Three to Five Authors:
• List all the authors the first time you cite the source.

(Kernis, Cornell, Sun, Berry, & Harlow, 1993)
• In subsequent citations, (Kernis et al., 1993)
• Organization as an Author:

• If the organization has a well-known abbreviation
• First citation: (Mothers Against Drunk Driving
[MADD], 2000) Second citation: (MADD, 2000)
http://www.scribd.com/doc/176393180/Apa-Style-Format
Some basics
• Two or More Works (Berndt, 2002; Harlow, 1983)

• Authors With the Same Last Name:
• use first initials (E. Johnson, 2001; L. Johnson, 1998)
