Referencing and Citation
What is plagiarism and how to avoid it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmab92ghG0M
Harvard citation style Referencing in the Harvard style is a two–part process:
Sources are cited within the body of your assignment by giving the name of the author(s) followed by the date of publication. All other details about the publication are given in the list of references or bibliography at the end.
Include a page number and quotation marks if you have directly quoted an author’s words, e.g. Moyo and Dube (2011, p. 2) define management as “...â€
“In Britain, flavours such as vanillin which occur naturally in food are called ‘nature–identical’. The label does not have to state where it comes from. A flavouring only counts as fully ‘artificial’ if it does not occur in nature at all, as is the case with another, stronger vanilla–substitute called ethyl–vanillin (often used in chocolate).â€

Reference Management Software There are various software packages that you can use to help compile and manage your references into your own personal database or library. These software packages allow you to import your references directly into your own database from many online sources such as electronic journals, electronic books, websites and library catalogues. They also allow you to work with a word processing package to insert in-text citations, your footnotes and bibliography/ references into a document and then automatically format to your preferred style.
Mendeley(https://www.mendeley.com/?interaction_required=true) Mendeley - is both a free reference manager and an academic social network designed to help researchers find and work with collaborators. Although you do have to download the program, it is free and web-based. This means you have access to your data from anywhere in the world as it is stored remotely. Go to https://libguides.exeter.ac.uk/referencing/software for the Mendeley Quick Start Guide.
Zotero(https://www.zotero.org/) Zotero is a free, open-source research tool that helps you collect, organize, and analyze research and share it in a variety of ways. Zotero includes the best parts of older reference manager software — the ability to store author, title, and publication fields and to export that information as formatted references — and the best aspects of modern software and web applications, such as the ability to organize, tag, and search in advanced ways. Zotero interacts seamlessly with online resources: when it senses you are viewing a book, article, or other object on the web, it can automatically extract and save complete bibliographic references. Zotero transmits information to and from other web services and applications, and it runs both as a web service and offline on your personal devices.Comprehensive online support is available - via Zotero Support (https://www.zotero.org/support/ ). |
