Golden Rulesfor Referencing
• A reference must be included every time you use someone else’s information or ideas.
• A reference must be included when you:– Paraphrase, Quote, Summarize, Copy
• Each reference must appear in two places:– The in-text reference / citation – The reference list at the end of your work.

Golden Rulesfor Referencing

• No blog

In-text Citation
• Three sources for information:– Self ideas and observations.– General common information.– Specific information, phrases and ideas
from other sources ("borrowed information").
In-text citation is only required when you use specific “borrowed information”.

In-text Citation
Unacceptable:
Revenue Management is an application to analyze and estimate consumer behavior with the correct information and pricing strategies in order to maximize revenue. In short, it is a method “to sell the right inventory unit to the right type of customer, at the right time and for the right price”.

In-text Citation
Acceptable:
According to Cross (1997), Revenue Management is an application to analyze and estimate consumer behavior with the correct information and pricing strategies in order to maximize revenue. Kimes (2000, p. 3) simplified its definition as a practice of “selling the right inventory unit to the right type of customer, at the right time and for the right price”.
Paraphrasing: (Author, year)
Direct quotation: (Author, year, p. xx)

Reference List vs.Bibliography
• Reference list– A complete alphabetical list of all the sources you
have used in your work.
• Bibliography– A list of books, articles and papers that form
background reading, or further reading, and the items shown in a bibliography section do not need to be cited in the text.
As a student, you need to use a “Reference list”, not a “Bibliography” at the end of your work.

• Question 4: Why is one example unacceptable and the other acceptable?
• Unacceptable: Differentiation as an instructional approach promotes a balance between a student’s style and a student’s ability (Thompson, 2009, p. 2).
• Acceptable: “Differentiation as an instructional approach promotes a balance between a student’s style and a student’s ability” (Thompson, 2009, p. 2).
ANSWER: The first example is bad as there are no quotation marks to show that these words are actually the exact words the source uses. This would be considered a plagiarized sentence.
