  4. Why reference? • Prevents the accusation of plagiarism • Gives credibility to your work • Courtesy to the person whose ideas you have referred to • Allows the reader to locate the sources you used • Shows that you have researched an area

  5. When do you need to give a reference? Whenever you use a source of information • Direct quotes • When you paraphrase or summarise • Source of a theory, argument, viewpoint etc. • Specific information - statistics, case studies etc.

  6. What sort of information is included in areference? • Name of the author or editor • Title • Year of publication • Books - give name of publisher • Books - give location of publisher • Books - give edition (if not the first edition) • Journal articles – give the name of the journal and the number of the volume/issue/part • Electronic material - webpage address and when you accessed it

(1989, p.67) that colour… • No obvious personal author, cite the corporate body or the title of the work: Other commentators, such as The Times, agree that the Turner Prize is over-hyped (2004, p.32).

  10. less than one line: use quotation marks keep the quotation within the text …the use of colour is “arbitrary and unreal” (Batchelor, 2000, p.52). The long-standing debates about the nature of colour are… more than one line: do not use quotation marks start the quotation on a new line and indent it After 1945 colour increasingly became the reason for painting: Colour is dangerous. It is a drug, a loss of consciousness, a kind of blindness - at least for a moment. (Batchelor, 2000, p. 51). Another way of exploring colour was expressed in Pop Art, which… Quoting

  11. Listing sources in a reference list and/or bibliography

  12. Reference List • Always at the end of your assignment • Arranged in alphabetical order by author’s surname • Provide the full publication details of everything you havecited within your assignment • Take the publication details from the title page of the publication • Do not include any page numbers (other than the page ranges of chapters from edited books and journal articles)
