Referencing and Citation
Academic writing requires that you acknowledge ideas and thoughts from other scholars by citing and referencing your sources of information. Citing is the involves quoting from, or referring to, other writers’ works and ideas in the text of your work; whilst referencing is the listing of the full details of the publications that you have cited so that the reader can find the original sources. You should always acknowledge the sources that you consulted when preparing your academic work. Failing to acknowledge your sources is called plagiarism. If you do not know which referencing style to use, ask your lecturer or supervisor or librarian, who will assist you in this regard.
