Referencing

Referencing is an important aspect for everyone who does research , specially students like us. there are many projects and assignments that we get to submit in our academic career and lately in various job fields. Referencing is done mainly to avoid plagiarism and give credit to the original author from whom we take information to our projects. it is also used to refer back to the original source so as to get further information to whoever that is reading your work.

there are any ways that we can give credit for the original author. using quotations, adding citations, writing down the reports in your own words etc. when writing references there are certain information that we should include in our references such as the name of the author, published year, name of the publication, relevant page numbers etc.

there are many referencing conventions such as Harvard referencing, APA, OSCOLA, British standard numeric and MLA.  we use the Harvard referencing method in our assignments as its the accepted convention of the Staffordshire University.
