radical overhaul with a sole

performance of Individuals & Team

members in organizational

settings. There has been a growing

Annexure X ReferencesHOW TO WRITE REFERENCES

This section is an introduction to

writing references and covers the

most common types of material in

both print and electronic form:

books, chapters in books,

conferences and their papers,

official publications, dissertationsand theses, journal articles,

images, pictures and illustrations,

maps, internet resources.

Tip Saving Time

Make sure that you get all the

reference information you need

while you still have the source

material (e.g. book) in front of you.

You will waste a lot of time if you

have to have to go back and find

this information later. For example:if you make a photocopy check

that you have the page numbers; if

you interview someone make a

note of the date; if you print a web

page make a note of the full web


28/34

P a g e | 28

address and the date on which you

accessed it.

Why should I includereferences in my work?

1. It shows the range of reading which you have done.This gains you marks.2. You may support yourarguments with the opinion ofacknowledged experts and usedata from reputable sources. This can make your ownarguments more convincing.3. It is a basic academicrequirement to show details ofthe sources of yourinformation, ideas andarguments. Doing so meansthat you cannot be accused ofplagiarism, i.e. stealing fromanother persons work.

When should I include

references in my work?

1. Whenever you quotesomeone elses work. Thisdoes not just include wordsbut tables, charts, pictures,music, etc.

2. When you rewrite orparaphrase someone elseswork.

3. When you summarisesomeone elses work.

Why should I give such detailed

information?The purpose of the details provided

is to make it easy for someone else

to follow up and trace the materials

which you have used. Without full

references, your tutor may be led

into thinking you are trying to take

credit for someone elses work i.e.

plagiarism.

What are the most important

points about my list of

references?

1. Keep it accurate. This meansthat the marker/tutor doesnot waste time if they wish toconsult the items you havelisted. If your list is full oferrors you will lose marks.

2. Provide all the relevantdetails. This makes it is easyfor the marker to identify theitems which you have listed.Again, if some of the

important information ismissing you will lose marks.

3. Use a consistent format foryour references. This willensure that it is easy tolocate a reference withinyour reading list.

What do I need to include?

The most important parts of a

reference are as follows:

1. The person(s) who wrotethe work: - The Author(s) orOriginator(s).
