Research: Referencing

University of Queensland - Guide to APA 7

University of Queensland - Plagiarism - this website outlines what plagiarism is, what you need to acknowledge, direct quotes and paraphrasing, plus images and Creative Commons.

Kate Hart has created a graphic guide to citing and referencing sources, which provides a guide to when and how you should acknowledge the work of others in your research tasks.

Why is it important to reference other people's work?

• To acknowledge the author of the idea or thought
• To indicate to the reader your source of information
• To add value to your own work by including knowledge that has come from an expert
• To add value to your work by including facts and figures that have been checked

What should be referenced?

• Direct quotations
• Information, including facts and figures, that has been paraphrased
• Ideas that have been adapted from another person's original idea

You do NOT have to acknowledge accepted beliefs or general knowledge eg World War II began in 1939, or Bradman was a great Australian batsman.
