Writing references

Writing references
When writing a report, essay or other academic text, it is important that you refer and reference the sources you use. All sources, books, articles, information on the web or otherwise, must be acknowledged both in your text and in a reference list. Using someone else's text, ideas or thoughts without specifying the source is not allowed.
Another purpose of a reference list is to enable the reader to locate and verify the sources you have used. It is therefore important that you provide full and accurate information for each source you have cited.
