What does referencing mean?
We use other people’s work to:
support our own arguments,
provide evidence,
give examples,
present findings, etc.
discuss what other people/organisations have said/done & provide an
analysis
to provide definitions, explanations, etc.

How to detect plagiarism?
Universities use a
powerful software tool
called Turnitin. Turnitin
matches the text in your
assignment with text in
millions of other online
sources such as books,
journals, web pages,
and the work of other
students.

How do I reference my work?

How do I reference my work?
Your references should be consistent and
follow the same format. Various systems
have been devised for citing references,
but most schools use the Harvard system.
At
LSST, you need to follow the Harvard refe
rencing style indicated in LSST Harvard
Referencing Guide.

Showing the Relationship Between In-text Citations & the
Reference List
(Kazmi, 2019)
16
Citing works by more than one author
If your source has two authors, you should include both names in the text.
– Anderson and Poole (1998) note that a ‘narrow line often separates plagiarism from good
scholarship.’ (p.16).
17
Citing works by three or more authors
• If there are three or more authors you should include the first
named author and then add ‘et al.’ in italics followed by a full stop.
This is an abbreviation of ‘et alia’ which means ‘and others’ in Latin.
E.g. In the United States revenue from computer games now exceeds that of movies
(Kline et al., 2003).

Referencing: Part 2 – The Reference list
• The components and the order of them differ from one source
to another. This means that your reference for academic book
is different from the reference of an online news article.
