• May be intentional or unintentional. • Direct quotations are not enclosed in
single inverted commas. • Paraphrasing is not acknowledged. • An idea is used without being
acknowledged to its original source. • Submitting substantially the same

Course regulations re plagiarism
• ‘The College views plagiarism as a breach of academic standards which will, if proven, result in withdrawal from the course with an unsatisfactory grade.’ (The College of

Types of references

• Reference list: Alphabetical list of all references used throughout the document

![Page 10: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In text referencing
• Must identify all references at the appropriate point in your writing (at least one reference per concept)– Name of author
– Year of publication
– Page number or numbers.
• Two types– Direct quotes
– Paraphrasing
10
![Page 11: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Direct quotes
• <20% of your own work in direct quotes
• Direct quotes never stand alone – integrate them into your argument or viewpoint.
• Two methods:– Short quote– Long quote
11
![Page 12: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Short quotation (< 30 words)
• Enclose the quotation in single inverted commas within your sentence.
• Example: Arnheim and Prentice (1997: 64) state that
the purpose of the warm-up period prior to commencing exercise is to produce ‘an increased blood flow to working skeletal muscle’.
12
![Page 13: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Long quotation (> 30 words)
• Indent and single space the quote; no need for inverted commas.
• Example: When describing muscle activity and the effect of exercise,
Marieb (1995: 274) states: … vigorously stressed muscle fibres contain more mitochondria, form more myofilaments, and store more glycogen. The amount of connective tissue between the cells also increases. Collectively these changes promote significant increases in muscle strength and size.

![Page 14: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Paraphrasing
• Putting an idea into your own words to indicate your understanding and to support your arguments.
• It does not mean: – changing one or two words
– re-ordering the sentence.
14
![Page 15: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Referencing: Author included in sentence
• Author’s family name forms part of the sentence, year of publication and page numbers are added.
• Example: Jones (1995: 766) notes that the
changes that occur in the alveoli in emphysema are very significant.
15
![Page 16: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Referencing: Author not in sentence
• If the author’s name is not part of the sentence then provide the information in brackets at the end of the sentence.
• Example:
The changes to the alveoli that occur in emphysema are dramatic (Jones, 1995: 766).

![Page 17: Referencing](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070303/54b304a64a795925178b4651/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Referencing: Common themes from
multiple sources • Cite the surnames of the authors and year of
publication only.
• In text references are listed in chronological order, but are listed alphabetically in the reference list.
• Example:
Febrile convulsions occur at the onset of an illness and is thought to be triggered by a rapid rise in temperature (Shann,1995; Wong, 1999).

Works with four or more authors
• The in-text citations should show the surname of the first author followed by ‘et al.’ (Latin for ‘and others’)
• The full reference listing all authors must be provided in the reference list

Referencing: Electronic sources
• Usually no page numbers: – Author’s name – Year (or n.d. if ‘no year’) – n.p. for ‘no page’
• Ensure all identifying information is provided in the reference list.

Secondary source citations
• An author’s work may be discussed or cited in another’s work; you must acknowledge both sources.
• Example: • According to Condon and Nyhus (cited
in Methany, 1996: 47), the average daily fluid requirements in adults increased …
