CITING sources - to avoid plagiarism

Citing your sources, in a reference list or bibliography, is providing a list
of all the resources you have used

It is important to cite sources in your assignments, reports & projects for the following reasons...

• to avoid (this cannot be over-stressed!)

• to acknowledge the work of others

• to show that you have read widely in your subject area

• to show that you can select relevant information

• to allow your readers to find the source for themselves
