The Complete Guide to Referencing and Avoiding Plagarism Colin Neville
- Why is there so much emphasis on citing sources in some written work?
- How can I be sure I am referencing sources correctly?
- What is plagiarism and how do I avoid it?
A unique feature of the book is the comparisons it makes between different referencing styles - such as Harvard, APA, MLA and Numerical referencing styles - which are shown side-by-side. This provides a useful guide, for students as they progress through higher education, and particularly for those on combined studies courses - who may be expected to use two, and sometimes three, different referencing styles.
Other special features in the book include:
- Essays demonstrating referencing in action
- Exercises on when to reference, and on what is, and what is not, plagiarism
- A 'Frequently Asked Questions' section on the referencing issues that most often puzzle people
- A detailed guide to referencing electronic sources, and advice on how to choose reliable Internet sites
