Why reference at all?
– Knowledge develops by building on the ideas and work of
others.
– Referencing acknowledges other peoples’ ideas.
– It allows sources to be easily located by the reader.
– Other people’s ideas, words, images must be
acknowledged and this is part of academic honesty failure to do this is plagiarism and is an assessment
offence at UWE.
Assessment offences

intentionally or unintentionally as your own...’ (Carroll,
2002) .
Avoiding plagiarism (video)
Can you identify plagiarism?
Referencing is good
academic practice and also
allows you to– keep accurate records of your sources,
– identify all material that needs referencing,
– demonstrate that you’ve read around the topic, and
show the level and quality of your sources and how
you’ve developed your own ideas,
– paraphrase, summarise and quote correctly in your
work.
