This section contains guides to help with referencing. Referencing makes clear when you have used someone else's work and helps you to avoid plagiarism. These are two of the university approved styles:
|
APA (a Harvard type style)
In APA style there will be an author and date in your text like this: (Casey, 1985) and an alphabetical list of references at the end like this:
Casey, F. (1985). How to study: A practical guide. Macmillan.
Clare, J. (1988). Revision, study and exam techniques guide. First and Best.
Fairbairn, G., & Fairbairn, S. (2001). Reading at university: A guide for students. Open University Press.
Johnson, R. (1995). Improving your writing skills. Clifton Press.
Vancouver (a numeric style)
In Vancouver style there will be a number in brackets in your text [1] and a list of references at the end in the order they appear in the text, like this:
1. Casey F. How to study: a practical guide. Basingstoke Macmillan; 1985.
2. Clare J. Revision, study and exam techniques guide. Corby: First and Best; 1998.
