Referencing Help

An important characteristic of academic writing is the acknowledgement of other writers’ words or creations through citing and referencing all sources of information used. Citing is the practice of quoting from, or referring to, other writers’ works and ideas  in the text of your work; referencing is the listing of the full details of the publications that you have cited so  that the reader can find the original sources. Citing and referencing have long been regarded as hallmarks of  good academic writing.
