Do you understand the do's and don'ts of referencing and plagiarism?

1. Plagiarism
and
Referencing
#uwslibTalks
Inspiring “sessions”for studentsand staff shared by expertlibrarians.

2. “In academic work, ideas and words are seen as private property belonging
to the person who first thought or wrote them. If you borrow or refer to the work
of another person, you must show that you have done this by providing
the correct acknowledgement”. (Bailey, 2015, p.25)
• Referencing provides the correct acknowledgement.
• Plagiarism occurs when the correct acknowledgement
is not provided.
• Correct referencing avoids accusations of Plagiarism.
Bailey,S. (2015) Academic Writing forInternational Students of Business. 2nded. London: Routledge.

3. Plagiarism
The practice of taking someone else's
work or ideas and passing them off as
one's own (Waite and Hawker, 2009).

6. Harvard
Reference (UWS Harvard Style)…
…when you quote, paraphrase or use another source in
your assignment to support your ideas.
Add a citation in the text (name and date) and an
alphabetical reference list (full details for all citations you
have mentioned in your text) at the end of your
assignment.

7. Citation (name/date)
WHO: who created it – who is the author, creator, editor, organisation, publisher?
WHEN: when was it published – what year, what year was it updated or
uploaded?
HOW: Direct citations (Quotations) – use exact wording from original source.
Requires page number or numbers.
Example: "one of the most sophisticated skills we possess" according to Cameron
(2009,p.80).
HOW: Indirect Citations (Paraphrasing) - use different words from the original
source. No page numbers required.
Example: Workshops have highlighted various issues with using the model-based
inquiry concept (Hall and Palmer, 2015).

9. Citation (date)
The date is surrounded by brackets and comes after the authors’
names.
Note: if you are using more than once reference by the same author or author
with the same surname from the same year the date is followed with a,b,c, etc
to distinguish between the references first(see example below). References are
then listed chronologicallywith the earliest date.
The percentage of Emergency Department attendees seen within the 4-
hour target period rose from 86.1% for week ending 22nd
February (Scottish Government, 2015a) to 91.7% for week ending
22nd March (Scottish Government, 2015b).

10. Reference List
A reference list refers to the documents you have cited in your work and is
arranged in alphabetical order. Authors in the reference list include initials unlike
their in-text citation.
Example of the connection:
Citation begins Cottrell
Reference begins Cottrell, S.
Remember not making the connection can be interpreted as a form of plagiarism.
Note: A bibliography is a list of all the material you have consulted and is not
restricted to only material cited. A bibliography might be a requirement for some
assignments – please check with your lecturer.
The following slide demonstrates the component parts of the full reference.

13. Note on Secondary Sources
When you cite material which is not from the original source i.e. the author you
are reading has cited a piece of work from another author.
The connection between the signpost and the reference is as follows:
The documentary industry faced early obstacles(Bertrandand Collins, 1981cited in
Druick and Williams, 2014).
Druick, Z. and Williams, S. (eds.) (2014)The Grierson Effect: TracingDocumentary's
InternationalMovement.London: British Film Institute.
Use with caution: secondary referencing should be avoided if possible.
Remember the author you are reading has paraphrased the original idea to
support their own arguments.

14. Note on Online Resources
For online resources, it is usual to list the URL (website
address) in a reference list. However, if you know that a
website, e.g. a bibliographic database, requires a password
to access it, or if you have used an app to access the
material, then you should use the name of the website or
collection or database or app (whichever is most relevant)
instead of the URL.
Password protected database….Available: Dawsonera. [Accessed: 23 September 2017].
Web address…. Available: http://www.sign.ac.uk/pdf/sign120.pdf [Accessed: 22
