The information and activities in this tutorial are designed to introduce you to the “what, why and how” of acknowledging your sources.

The tutorial is not intended to teach you how to use specific referencing styles, or to imply that any given style should be adopted. Always use the referencing style recommended by your own department – and if unsure, ask your lecturer.

Throughout the tutorial author-date examples are given in APA style and footnote examples are given in Chicago style.

Images shows the text below in blocked off sections.

All academic work relies on the work of others; that is, experts in the field. Their work is usually published in books, journal articles, or occasionally other media – your sources of information. The term “acknowledging your sources” is often used in place of “citing and referencing” because this is exactly what you do when using information from published sources: you acknowledge the source of your information.

The convention for acknowledging the source of information, involves two steps:

1. a citation in the text of the document2. a reference list OR a bibliography at the end of the document

ExamplesIn-text citationThe assumption that female politicians must be morally superior to their male counterparts has actually acted to their disadvantage (Baird, 2004).

Throughout the tutorial author-date examples are given in APA style and footnote examples are given in Chicago style.

Reference listGo to the references screen to view an example of a reference list.

Students usually think of citing and referencing in relation to writing, but it also applies when creating a video clip or giving a presentation.

Screen 7 – Why are citing and referencing essential?

Image showing screen with roll over text areas to display further information.

Citing and referencing correctly is about much more than simply following university rules. These rules are in place to protect your work, as much as they are to protect the work of others. It is about maintaining academic integrity.

Instruction to user: Roll your cursor over each of the headings to learn more.

Rollover headings and information: Citing and referencing enable you to:

1. To validate your researchBy showing that your work is based on that of authorities in the field, you assure your readers that your own ideas and conclusions are valid.

2. To help readers locate your sourcesThe citation tells the reader the information came from a published source. The reference list provides the publication details necessary for the reader to locate the source if they wish to learn more.

3. To situate your work in the disciplineWhether writing up your own research or responding to the work of others, you are building on what has already been done in your field. By referring to the existing literature, you show the reader where your work ‘fits in’.

4. To avoid plagiarismWhen you put your name on a piece of academic writing you indicate that it is your own original work – except where indicated by citations. To maintain academic integrity you must give due credit to the original authors of the material you use.

Screen 8 – Citations, bibliographies and reference lists

Image of book with words that can be clicked to display further information (words and information below).

The terms ‘citing’ and ‘referencing’ can be confusing. You will often hear them used interchangeably. The terms ‘references’, ‘reference list’ and ‘bibliography’ are also frequently confused.

Instruction to user: Click the coloured headings on the right to read more about each term.

Headings and information

1. CitationTo cite: to mark within your text that the information comes from a published source. Sometimes also termed ‘to reference”.

Tip: Citations can take the form of (author date), a bracketed number [1], or a superscript number (e.g. footnotes), depending on the style used.

2. Reference ListTo reference: give full publication details of the sources in a list at the end of your essay or report.

A reference list includes only those authorities that have been cited in the document.

Tip: Check with your department as there are exceptions to this rule.

OR

3. BibliographyA bibliography is a complete list of sources consulted about a topic, but not necessarily cited in your work.

A bibliography looks the same as a referencse list, except that it may list more sources than a reference list in the same piece of work.

Tip: Check with your department as there are exceptions to this rule.

Screen 17 – What to cite and reference

Image showing four clickable images (corresponding to the headings below) to open more information.

Many people think that you only need to cite and reference when you have copied the words of another writer, but there is more to it than that.

Instruction to user: Click each of the images to read more about when you should cite and reference.

QuotationsWhenever you directly copy the words of another author (quote), ensure you use quotation marks, or block text for longer quotations. Please note that in technical disciplines it is not acceptable to quote more than a line or two.

Factual informationWhen using information from any published source, including books, journals, government reports or websites, it is essential to cite and reference accurately. A reader must be able to identify what is your own work, what is the work of others, and where to find the source of your information.

Data, methods & imagesWhenever you use any data, graphs, tables, images, videos, music, software, research methods – in fact any kind of intellectual property that is not your own original work - you need to acknowledge the source.

IdeasWhenever you refer to another person’s ideas, even if you heard them in a speech, it is correct practice to acknowledge whose ideas they are.

TipAlways keep a record of the sources that you consult. Ensure you note the full publication details as this can save you time later when constructing the reference list.

Screen 18 – Common knowledge

Image showing text boxes with different pieces of information.

It is not necessary to cite information which is common knowledge:

1. General information which would be known by any reasonably informed member of the public is common knowledge.Example: Words in * denote highlighted section of text.*Australia is an arid country which experiences frequent droughts.* In the hundred years between 1895 and 1995, no less than six major droughts occurred (Bureau of Meteorology, 2011), with devastating effects on farming and the economy.

2. Discipline specific information which would be known by any of your peers in your field of study, or which appears in all the textbooks on a given subject, is common knowledge in that discipline.

TipAs a rule of thumb, if you did not have to look up information before writing it in your assignment, it does not need to be acknowledged.

Another method of execution, notorious for its association with the French Revolution, is the guillotine (1). In 1789, Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin recommended that all those condemned to death, no matter what their crime or social status, should be executed by decapitation, then considered the most humane method available (2). After a prolonged quest for a simple, reliable method of ending life as quickly and painlessly as possible, the guillotine made its debut in 1792 (3). Although there is some evidence that the guillotine does not do its job as swiftly as intended (4), its introduction was, at least, motivated by a spirit of humanity and equality (5).

Quoting means reproducing the actual wording in the original source in your own work. When quoting, it is important to use exactly the same words and punctuation as the original, and to position quotation marks precisely.

Check your unit style guide for more detailed information.

Quotations are used to support your argument or facts, but don’t overuse them, as they do not show understanding or analytical ability. An assignment with a lot of quotations is unlikely to pass.

Instruction to user: Click the tabs on the right to see examples of each style.

Author-DateShort quotation exampleAs the preceding examples show, the 1990’s were a minefield for female politicians. The key questions for politics are, “..what went wrong and what needs to change?” (Baird, 2004, p.5). In an attempt to answer these questions, this essay will analyse the careers of two female politicians…

Longer quotation exampleThe difference between what women are thought to bring to politics and what they actually do has played havoc with the careers of our most successful female politicians. An assumption…that women are cleaner, more ethical than men, and that their presence will bleach politics of grime, has been their greatest burden.

Screen 22 - Paraphrasing

Image of blocks of texts and two images of notice board documents with the following words: “From Lindsay’s essay” and “From Ashley’s essay”.

Students often believe that it is possible to avoid plagiarising by making small changes to the original text; replacing words with synonyms and restructuring sentences or paragraphs. This is indeed paraphrasing, but it is still plagiarism because the words and phrases are too close to those used by the original author.

Instruction to user:Read the text below from a journal article read by two students preparing to write an essay. Click the two documents to read sections from the essays they submitted with marker feedback.

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation is considered a major threat to biodiversity worldwide. Among vertebrate species, mammals are thought to be at greater risk of decline than birds, reptiles or amphibians in fragmented habitats (Turner, 1995). The precise reason for this is unknown, but it is likely because mammals are relatively sedentary endotherms. Birds are endothermic, but are highly mobile, whilst amphibians and reptiles, being ectotherms, require far smaller home ranges for foraging because their metabolic requirements are relatively small.

Essay topic: Discuss the ways population growth can threaten vertebrates.

From Ashley’s essayBiodiversity is being affected by anthropogenic habitat fragmentation all over the world, with mammals most at risk among vertebrates. This is probably because their movement is more restricted than that of other endotherms such as birds. Ectotherms, such as amphibians and reptiles, are not so disadvantaged because they need only a small feeding area due to their lower metabolic needs (Johnstone, 2011).

Marker’s comments:The content of Ashley’s paragraph is all drawn from a single source, closely paraphrased. It therefore appears to discuss the original author’s topic, how habitat fragmentation affects biodiversity, rather than the student’s essay topic.

From Lindsay’s essayAnother human induced threat to vertebrates is habitat fragmentation, when a species is unable to access all parts of their usual habitat (Lim et al., 2008); for example, because of a new road or settlement dividing it. It could be that the population is cut off from an important food source, or that breeding is compromised (Keel, 2011). Mammals appear to be at greatest risk from the effects of habitat fragmentation (Turner, 1995, cited in Johnstone, 2011), possibly because they need a wider feeding range than ectotherms and, unlike birds, cannot cross from one habitat to another (Johnstone, 2011).

Marker’s comments:Lindsay’s paragraph is clearly related to the essay topic. It synthesizes information from several sources to describe one way population growth threatens vertebrates.
