REFERENCE WRITING
What is referencing?
Referencing is a standardised way of acknowledging the sources of information and ideas that we
have used in our assignments and which allows the sources to be identified.
Obligation Avoid plagiarism To verify quotations To enable readers to follow up Understand what we have written and the
cited author’s work.
Understanding similar terms
CITATION-using another persons work in our work and acknowledging them
SECONDARY REFERENCING- when an author refers to another authors work and the primary source is not available
BIBLIOGRAPHY-there may be many articles which we have referred but not cited, these can be listed at the end of our assignment in a bibliography. These articles should be listed in alphabetical order
In which case we need to cite a reference ?
1. When we copy word or a paragraph from a journal article/book
2. When we copy word or a paragraph from a web site3. When we write in our own words or ideas from a
journal article/book4. When we write in our own words or ideas from a
web site
If you do not make reference to someone else’s ideas/work you may be accused of passing it off as your own (plagiarism).
Plagiarism – What is it & How to avoid it
“The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Recorded from the early 17th century, the word comes from Latin plagiarius ‘kidnapping’.”

Vancouver style of referencing:Overview
Numbered referencing style commonly used in medicine and science
• When we cite someone’s work in our essay, we use a number to refer the reference
• Our reference list at the end of our document, will provide full details of the reference and correspond in sequence to the numbers in the text using consecutive numbers
Vancouver style -Citing in the body of our essay
If the same reference is cited elsewhere again, the same number is used for that reference.
Numbers in-text can be in superscript 1 or can be displayed in brackets (1)Numbers must appear after a full stop or comma, but before colons and semi-colons.
Vancouver style of referencing:
• When citing more than one reference, join consecutive references with a hyphen (1-5)
• When citing multiple references that are non-inclusive, separate the references with commas. (2,5, 8, 10)
