Cite your sources – get it right
• Reference list– Complete overview of all sources cited– Choose one style for your references– Use the same style troughout the list– Normally listed right after conclusion
Cite it right – organising your references
Example: Book with one author
Last name, First initial. (Year). Title of the book in italics (Edition – if available). Place of publication: Publisher.
Fitzgerald, F. S. (1926). The Great Gatsby: Chatto & Windus: London.
-> Always find the correct format for your source
So, reference list..bibliography..whatever – that’s it?!
Part 2: Citing sources
• We need a reference in the text that makes the link to the endnote/footnote
• E.g. Blablablablabla (Fitzgerald, 1926). Blablabla
Fitzgerald, F. S. (1926). The Great Gatsby: Chatto & Windus: London.
NEVER too many sources
Part 3: Quoting sources
• Direct quote• Indirect quotation• Summary
Students do not always see the importance of citing all sources in written work. ”Serious academic literature authors use sources, and they cite the sources they use" (Spangen, 2007, p. 9). This is just as important when writing a semester assignment as when writing a scientific dissertation.
