REFERENCE & CITATION



40/82


What is REFERENCING?

Referencing is when you give bibliographicinformationdetails such as authorsfamily

name and the date and title of publication

about the sources you used in your work.

What is CITING?

Citing is when you use and acknowledge

someone elses work to support your

argument or illustrate your point.

www.citewrite.qut.edu.au

40

IT SIMPLY MEAN THAT WE ARE DOCUMENTING OUR


41/82

SOURCES

Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer

to the work of another, you are required to cite its original

source documentation. Offered here are some of the mostcommonly cited forms of material.

Direct Citation: Simply having thinking skills is no assurance

that children will use them. In order for such skills to become

part of day-to-day behavior, they must be cultivated in an

environment that values and sustains them. Just as

childrens musical skills will likely lay fallow in an

environment that doesntencourage music, learnersthinking

skills tend to languish in a culture that doesnt encourage

thinking(Tishman, Perkins & Jay, 1995, p.5).

Indirect Citation : According to Wurman (1988), the new

disease of the 21st century will be information anxiety, which

has been defined as the ever-widening gap between what one

understands and what one thinks one should understand. 41

WHY DO REFERENCING?


42/82

WHY DO REFERENCING?

42

We reference to provide details about the sources,

which have been cited.

Referencing helps to:

support your ideas and arguments using expert facts

or ideas acknowledge (give credit for) facts and ideas you

have used

help other readers find the original facts and ideas

or works that you have used

show readers the depth and quality of your reading

and research.

Attitudes toward grades, need for high grades

irrespective

Time pressure to complete work Poor writing skills

PLAGIARISM AT OUM


54/82

Plagiarism is thought as copying anotherpersonswork.

At OUM, a learner may not be literally

copying another learners work buthe/she may be producing highly similar

submission.

This can happen because of the processthat many take in writing the assignment.

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN


58/82

When writing your assignment, you will

have to source materials. During thatprocess you may not realize that you are

engaging in plagiarism by:

Use of common source of reference Copying directly from the source without

acknowledging the writer

Producing a paper that is simply a

compilation of materials written by manywithout acknowledging the writers

58

HOW TO IDENTIFY PLAGIARISM?


59/82

Paraphrases: A closely reasoned argument of an author isparaphrased but the person does not acknowledge doing so.(Clearly, all our knowledge is derived from somewhere, but detailedarguments from clearly identifiable sources must beacknowledged.)

Outright plagiarism: Large sections of the paper are simply copiedfrom other sources, and the copied parts are not acknowledged asquotations.

Other sources:These often include essays written by other personor sold by unscrupulous organizations. Quoting from such papersis perfectly legitimate if quotation marks are used and the sourceis cited.

Works by others: Taking credit deliberately or not deliberately forworks produced by others without giving properacknowledgement. These works include photographs, charts,graphs, drawings, statistics, video clips, audio clips, verbalexchanges such as interviews or lectures, performances ontelevision and texts printed on the Web.

Duplication: The student submits the same essay for two or morecourses.

Q & A81

Your time is limited, dont waste it living someone

elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma, which is

living the result of other peoples thinking. Dont let

the noise of others opinion drowned your owninner voice. And most important, have the courage

to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow

already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.Steve Jobs
