Why should I reference?
Citing and referencing are essential to the academic integrity of your research and writing. When you reference, you:
- demonstrate that you have read widely and understood your topic
- enable readers to verify your sources and find out more
- avoid plagiarism by acknowledging when you have used the ideas and words of others.
Getting good at referencing early will benefit you all through your studies and research career. Find out more about the importance of citing and referencing on the academic integrity website.
