APA Referencing

© Central Institute of Technology 2014

What is Referencing?Referencing is a method of acknowledging sources of

information that you have used in your written work.

The APA (American Psychological Association) 6th edition is the method now used at Central Institute of Technology.


Why do you reference?

• To show where you got the information from.• To demonstrate how much research you did.• To allow the reader (your lecturer) to be

able to find and check the information.

Study, 2007


When do you have to reference? If you:

1. quote (use someone else’s exact words)2. paraphrase (convert someone else’s ideas into your own words)

3. summarise (use a brief account of someone else’s ideas)

4. copy (use statistics, figures, tables, images)

Rottnest Island, 2008


When do you not need to give references?References are not required for items of general knowledge or

common knowledge.

Common knowledge includes facts that are well known within the community in which they are used.

An example:

Rottnest Island is home to the quokka which is an Australian native animal.

Quokka, 2008


What if you don’t reference?

Plagiarism is the term used when someone copies another person’s ideas or opinions as their own and doesn’t acknowledge the original source of the information.

Plagiarism, whether deliberate or accidental, is a formof cheating and is not acceptable.

Remember, if you plagiarise in your assignment you may fail
