Citing and referencing
Guidance on how to cite and reference material in your research and work, including Harvard and APA styles
What are citing and referencing?
Citing and referencing are the processes of acknowledging other people’s work when you have used it in your assignment or research. In-text citations and corresponding references allow the reader to locate your source material quickly and easily. It’s an essential part of academic work and very important to get right.
