2. Outline
 Referencing/ Citation
 Referencing Styles
 Sources to be cited
 Reference style formats

3. Referencing/ Citation
 Referencing means citing different sources used in writing research paper/article/report.
 A citation is a way of giving credit to individuals for their creative and intellectual works that have
been used to support presented research. It can also be used to locate particular sources and
combat plagiarism.
 A citation style dictates the information necessary for a citation and how the information is ordered,
as well as punctuation and other formatting.
 In higher education whenever a fact or piece of information is used in an assignment or research
paper it should always include the source of information.

4. Referencing/ Citation
 Even if you 'just know it' - it has to have come from somewhere.
 This is because in higher education assignment or research paper writing you are not just being
tested on what you know, but rather what you are able to find out and what you think it means.
 A referencing style is a set of rules telling you how to acknowledge the thoughts, ideas and works of
others in a particular way.
 Referencing is a crucial part of successful academic writing, avoiding plagiarism and is key to
assignments and research.

8. Referencing Styles: Articles in Journals
 There are two main features when it comes to reference styles of articles in Journals.
 The first is related to how the source is written in your paper’s reference list or “Works Cited” page.
 The second feature is for citing a source within the text itself. There are three different styles in-text
citation systems for referring to a source:
 Author-date system: In this system, you indicate the author and the year of publication directly in
the text on the spot where you use the source. An exception here is MLA style, which uses an
author-page number system.
 Numerical system: In this system, you number each of your sources in the reference list and then
you use the correct number whenever you want to cite a specific source within your text.
 Notation system: You write the source (in abbreviated form) in a footnote or endnote.
