GENERAL INTRODUCTION Explanation of citation and referencing

During the course of writing an essay, report or other assignment it is usual to support arguments by reference to other published work. These references may be from work presented in journal or newspaper articles, government reports, books or specific chapters of books, research dissertations or theses, material from the Internet etc. Citation is the practice of referring to the work of other authors in the text of your own piece of work. Such works are cited to show evidence both of the background reading that has been done and to support the content and conclusions. ach citation re!uires a reference at the end of the work" this gives the full details of the source item and should enable it to be traced. #eferring accurately to such source materials is part of sound academic practice and a skill that should be mastered. $ther reasons for accurate citation and referencing are% & To give credit to the concepts and ideas of other authors. & To provide the reader 'often the marker(examiner of the assignment) with evidence of the breadth and depth of your reading. & To enable those who read your work to locate the cited references easily. Remember to note the details of all the documents you read. The following pages give detailed guidance for various types of publication as there are major differences between books, journal articles and websites, but a minimum re!uirement is for the author, date, title, and further details which help to identify the source.

Plagiarism
*lagiarism is passing off the work of others as your own. This constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter which is penalised in assignment marking. Plagiarism is the submission of an item of assessment containing elements of work produced by another person(s) in such a way that it could be assumed to be the students own work. Examples of plagiarism are: & the verbatim copying of another persons work without acknowledgement & the close paraphrasing of another persons work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation without acknowledgement & the unacknowledged uotation of phrases from another persons work and!or the presentation of another persons idea(s) as ones own. "opying or close paraphrasing with occasional acknowledgement of the source may also be deemed to be plagiarism if the absence of uotation marks implies that the phraseology is the students own. Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a published source such as a book# report# $ournal or material available on the internet.

Referencing systems
There are a number of systems for the citation of references. +nglia #uskin ,niversity expects students to use the alphabetical(name-date system, in a particular style, known as the .+#/+#D style. In this, the author0s surname and year of publication are cited in the text, e.g. '1ond, 2334) and a reference list 'of these citations) is included at the end of the assignment, in alphabetical order by author with date. This reference list also includes important details such as the title and publisher. + biblio ra!hy lists relevant items that you have used in the preparation of the assignment but not necessarily cited in your text. + bibliography should also be in the .arvard style and the inclusion of such a list shows that you have read widely beyond the items you have cited. 5.1. 6aculty regulations may differ in the use of bibliographies and reference lists, students are advised to check with their 6aculty.

CITING RE"ERENCE# IN TE$T usin the %ar&ard #ystem


#eferences to sources may be cited in the text in different ways depending on the nature of the sentence(paragraph that is being written.

Authors name cited in the text


7hen making reference to an author8s work in your text, their name is followed by the year of publication of their work, and page reference, in brackets 'parentheses) and forms part of the sentence. 9ormack ':;;4, pp.<2-<<) states that 0when writing for a professional readership, writers invariably make reference to already published works0. In general, when writing for a professional publication, it is good practice to make reference to other relevant published work. This view has been supported in the work of 9ormack ':;;4, pp.<2-<<).

Authors name not cited directly in the text


If you make reference to a work or piece of research without mentioning the author in the text then both the author8s name and publication year are placed at the relevant point in the sentence or at the end of the sentence in brackets% =aking reference to published work appears to be characteristic of writing for a professional audience '9ormack, :;;4).

More than one author cited in the text


7here reference is made to more than one author in a sentence, and they are referred to directly, they are both cited% >ones ':;4?) and Smith ':;4@) have both shownAA

More than one author not cited directly in the text

e!eral works by one author in the same year


If you are !uoting several works published by the same author in the same year, they should be differentiated by adding a lower case letter after the year for each item% arlier research by Smith ':;;<a) found thatAAAbut later research suggested again by Smith ':;;<b) thatAA.

"uoting portions of published text


If you want to include text from a published work in your essay then the sentence's) must be included within !uotation marks, and may be introduced by such phrases as% the author states that DAA..8 or Athe author writes that DAA..8 In order for a reader to trace the !uoted section it is good practice to give the number of the page where the !uotation was found. The !uotation should also be emphasiHed 'especially if it runs to several lines) by indenting it and using !uotation marks. This clearly identifies it as the work of someone else% $n the topic of professional writing and referencing 9ormack ':;;4, p.<2)

states% 07hen writing for a professional readership, writers invariably make reference to already published works0.

#hapter authors in edited works


#eferences to the work of an author that appears as a chapter, or part of a larger work, that is edited by someone else, should be cited within your text using the name of the contributory author and not the editor of the whole volume% In his work on health information, Smith ':;IF) statesA In the reference list at the end of your document( you should include details of both the cha!ter author and the editor of the entire )or*+ 'See below for further details)

#orporate authors
If the work is by a recognised organisation and has no personal author then it is usually cited under the body that commissioned it. This applies to publications by associations, companies, government departments etc. such as Department of the nvironment or #oyal 9ollege of 5ursing. It is acceptable to use standard abbreviations for these bodies, eg. #95, in your text, providing that the full name is given at the first citing with the abbreviation in brackets% :st citation% #oyal 9ollege of 5ursing '#95) ' 233I) 2nd citation% #95 '233I) 5ote that the full name is the preferred format in the reference list. Some reports are written by specially convened groups or committees and can be cited by the name of the committee% 9ommittee on 5ursing ':;I2) Select 9ommittee on Stem 9ell #esearch '2332)

No author
If the author cannot be identified use D Anonymous8 or DAnon.8 and the title of the work and date of publication. The title should be written in italics. very effort should be made to establish the authorship if you intend to use this work as supporting evidence in an academic submission% %arketing strategy '+non., :;;;)

econdary sources $second%hand references&


7hile you are consulting an original work, you may come across a summary of another author8s work, which you would like to make reference to in your own document. This is called secondary referencing% + direct reference% #esearch recently carried out by 1rown ':;?? cited in 1assett, :;@?, p.:42) found thatAA.. In this example, 1rown is the work, which you wish to refer to, but have not read directly for yourself. 1assett is the secondary source, where you found the summary of 1rown8s work.. $r indirectly% '1rown, :;?? cited in 1assett, :;@?, p.:42) In the example below 7hite is the primary or original source and 1lack is the secondary source. It is important to realise that 1lack may have taken 7hite0s ideas forward, and altered their original meaning. It is recommended that where possible, you read the original source for yourself rather than rely on someone else8s interpretation of a work. 7hite, ':;;3) as cited in 1lack ':;;4), suggests thatA The reference list at the end of your document should only contain )or*s that you ha&e read.

Tables and diagrams


7hen reproducing selected data from a diagram or table, or copying the entire table or diagram, a reference must be made to the source. + reference within the text to a table taken from eg. a book, should include the author and page 'Smith, 233F, p.<<) to enable the reader to identify the data. If the source of the data is not the author8s own, but obtained from another source, it becomes a secondary reference and needs to be cited as such% ',nited 5ations, :;IF cited in Smith, 233F, p.<<) If the table is reproduced in its entirety, place the citation as a footnote. 1e particularly careful to note the original source of data, as well as the authorship of the document. 6ull details should be included in the reference list.

In the following example, a table is reproduced from page 2?I, of a book written by #obert +maHon which is the 4th edition and published by 6T *rentice .all of .arlow, ngland in 233F.

The purpose of a reference list is to enable sources to be easily traced by another reader. Different types of publication re!uire different amounts of information but there are certain common elements such as authorship, year of publication and title. The last section deals with references where some of the details are unknown. The .arvard Style lays down standards for the order and content of information in the reference. Some variations of layout are acceptable provided that they are used consistently. +ll Items should be listed alphabetically by author or authorship, regardless of the format, ie. whether books, websites or journal articles etc. 7here there are several works from one author or source they should by listed together but in date order with the earliest work listed first.
