Referencing Your Work

KELLYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

REFERENCING YOUR WORK

What is referencing? Writing a reference list – or bibliography – is a way of acknowledging all the sources you have used to complete your assignment. Whenever you use ANY words, ideas or information from ANY source, you must reference it, so as to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying the work of someone else and claiming it as your own. Plagiarism can result in failing your task.

POINTS TO REMEMBER:

·  Your reference list (also known as a bibliography) should appear at the end of your work on a separate page.

·  No bullet points, numbers or letters are needed to begin each bibliographic entry.

·  References should be listed in alphabetical order.

·  Be consistent and accurate in the style and punctuation you use, throughout your bibliography.

·  Provide the month, date and year you accessed the article/website of a document online.

·  Provide the name of the database or website.

·  Where there is no obvious author, use the name of the website.

·  Test that the website addresses you listed in your bibliography still work before submitting your assignment.

·  In-text references generally appears as: (Author’s Last Name, Year of Publication, Page number/s)

The examples of referencing below are based on the Harvard System of Referencing. However, the APA System of Referencing – adapted as much as possible to suit the Harvard System –has been used for music items.
