What is Referencing

Referencing is about maintaining academic integrity. It is used:

  • To show that you understand the topic and can explain in your own thoughts. 
  • To demonstrate that you have read widely and deeply.
  • To enable the reader to locate where you obtained each quote or idea.
  • To avoid plagiarism and uphold academic honesty.
