Online and Remote Studies: Referencing

When you write your assignment or dissertation you are required to refer to the work of authors. Each time you do so, it is necessary to identify their work by making reference to it. You need to reference to:

• Show where your information came from and allow your reader to identify sources or verify data.
• Plagiarism is using the ideas, concepts or written material of others without proper acknowledgement of these sources. 
• See the Introduction to Referencing tutorial for an overview on how to cite sources in your studies and avoid plagiarism.

For help with referencing styles and software (EndNote), please see our Library referencing support pages.

See the Training page for additional referencing guides, including guides for your subject - see the 'Referencing and Academic Integrity', 'Study Skills', 'Webinars' (bookable live sessions) and 'Recordings' tabs.
