PSY1020 Referencing - See it cite it sorted APA 7th ed.
Citation v Reference
• A citation is the In-Text way of directing or sign-posting the
reader to the full reference. It is the author’s surname and date
• A reference is the full information at the end of your assignment
giving exact details of where the piece of information was
sourced. It covers only information you have cited in your
assignment
• A reference list is always in alphabetical order at the end of the
assignment
• A bibliography includes all the material used in your assignment
but may have decided not to cite
What is referencing and why it is important
• Referencing is the process of acknowledging other people’s work
when you have used it in your assignment or research.
• It allows the reader to locate your source material as quickly and
easily as possible so that they can read these sources themselves and
verify the validity of your arguments.
• Referencing provides the link between what you write and the
evidence on which it is based.
• You need to be clear in every instance when you are referring to
someone else's work
Citations and References examples
Narrative Citation:
According to Chapman & Dixon (2009) recent development in multimedia
technology have lead to a ten-fold increase in the ownership of……….
Parentheses () Citation:
Ownership of hand-held digital devices has increased ten-fold due to recent
developments in multimedia technology (Chapman & Dixon, 2009).
Reference:
Chapman, N., & Dixon, J. (2009). Digital multimedia (3rd ed.). John Wiley.
What do they mean?
•Quotation - Quotations should be relevant to your
arguments.
•Paraphrase - When you paraphrase, you express someone
else's writing in your own words.
•Summary - When you summarise, you provide a brief
statement of the main points of an article.
Secondary referencing: or How do I reference
a source quoted in another author’s work
In this example you should have cited both but would only reference
Richards. Only put a full reference for the one you have read in your
reference list
Why do we cite and
reference?
Why Cite/Reference?
• Give credit to the original author/creator
• Demonstrate that you have read widely on the subject and
have considered and evaluated the writings of others
• Show the evidence of your research by quoting,
paraphrasing or summarising from the original text
• Establish the credibility and authority of your ideas and
arguments by highlighting and backing-up relevant points
• Enable the reader to locate the original material you used
• Distinguish between your own ideas and opinions and
those of others
• Achieve a better mark or grade
• Avoid plagiarism.

When do we cite?
When do we cite?
• When we use someone else’s idea.
• When we use someone else’s words, images etc.

knowledge”
However If you are unsure it is better to cite than not
to!
What citation style are we using?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Welcome and intros.
  2. Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay
  3. Before you start to cite and reference items for your assignment you need to evaluate them first
  4. Think about the sources suitability Trust and Quality Authorship Appropriateness Purpose
  5. Referencing involves 2 main parts In text citations Full reference details Do you know the difference between a citation and a reference?
  6. Every academic institution requires its students to reference in their work and your tutors will expect you to do this accurately, clearly and concisely. Your university or institution should issue you with guidelines on how they expect you to reference in your particular subject area. Follow these guidelines carefully. Reference list is always a-z don’t split it up by format and don’t arrange by citation order
  7. Referencing covers ideas, words and images
  8. Narrative citation – just date Parentheses citation – brackets with author and date A narrative citation is a citation in which the author name appears in the sentence itself, rather than within parentheses. The author name is part of the meaning of the sentence
  9. Quotations should be relevant to your arguments. Don’t use too many Your tutor will prefer to read your own interpretation of the information. Bear in mind that direct quotations are also counted in your assignment's total word count. Short direct quotations (up to two or three lines) should be enclosed in quotation marks (single or double – be consistent) and included in the body of your text. Give the author, date and page number(s)/URL that the quotation was taken from. Longer quotations should be entered as a separate paragraph and indented from the main text. Quotation marks are not required. Paraphrasing: When you paraphrase, you express someone else's writing in your own words. However, you must ensure that you do not change the original meaning and you must still cite and reference your source of information. Summarising: When you summarise, you provide a brief statement of the main points of an article, web page, chapter or book, known as a summary. This differs from paraphrasing as it only lists the main topics or headings, with most of the detailed information being left out.
  10. Secondary Referencing this is when you want to refer to a source that is mentioned or quoted in the work you are reading. Always try to read and reference the original where possible but if you can’t you should cite both sources in the text and use the phrase “as cited in” but only put a full reference for the one you have read in your reference list In this example you have cited both but would only reference Richards
  11. Ask for reasons
  12. Demonstrate that you have read widely on the subject and considered and evaluated the writings of others Show your tutor the evidence of your research and thereby appreciate your contribution to the topic Establish the credibility and authority of your ideas and arguments Enable the reader to locate the original material you used Give credit to the original author/creator Enable the reader to form their own views on the value of your sources and how you have interpreted them Distinguish between your own ideas and opinions and those of others Highlight and back-up relevant points by quoting, paraphrasing or summarising from the original text Achieve a better mark or grade Avoid plagiarism.
  13. There is no need to reference things that are considered common knowledge. This is generally defined as facts, dates, events and information that are expected to be known by someone studying or working in a particular subject area or field. In order to decide if the material you want to use in your assignment constitutes common knowledge, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Did I know this information before I started my course? Did this information or idea come from my own brain? If the answer to either or both of these questions is ‘no’, then the information is unlikely to be common knowledge to you. In these cases, you should cite and reference the sources. If you are unsure whether something is common knowledge, it is always advisable to cite and reference it.
  14. Always check which style you need to use for your assignment. Especially if you are doing a joint course. APA or Harvard Harvard doesn’t use Harvard
  15. Referencing like Cooking You have all the ingredients e.g. author, date, title, publisher place of publication You have to mix them altogether following the recipe to get the right result The referencing style is your recipe and the reference is your cake! Image by Marta Cuesta from Pixabay 
  16. WorldCat – claims to be the world’s largest catalogue. Useful for get full information on a reference if you have forgotten some of the info
  17. Google Scholar or Databases Always check but better than starting with a blank piece of paper
  18. Go to Cite them right My Library – Referencing link – Cite them right Search box – type in the type of information source you want to reference eg tattoo = Body art Source types you will need to reference include Books, Journal articles, Newspapers, reports and web pages
  19. DOI’s may need some explanation
  20. They need to establish whether a webpage has individual author(s), an institution is the author or it has no author. If it has not author they perhaps should not be using it.
  21. Notice the second and subsequent lines are indented
  22. Give students time to look at the reference lists. Rank them in order Discuss which is the best one and why. What can you identify? No books on best one though… A = Worst B = Better C = Best
  23. iSpring quiz
