What is referencing?
Referencing is the way that you describe the sources of information and ideas that you use in your assignments.
What do I have to reference?
If you have used anything in your assignment that was originally written or created by someone else, you must reference it. This does not just mean direct quotes - it also includes any ideas you have paraphrased or summarize and anything you use such as graphs, statistics, and images.
How do I write my references?
Go to the style guide that you require. Select the section that best describes the resource you want to reference and fill in the sections according to the example given.
