  4. What does referencing involve? Two main ways of citing information in your writing: • Author’s surname, (year), what the author states or considers. • Summary of author’s findings, views or conclusions, followed by author’s surname and year in brackets.

  5. What does referencing involve? For example: • Brown (2012) claims that a far more effective approach is... • Brown (2012) points out that a far more effective approach is... • A far more effective approach is... (Brown, 1983)

  6. What does referencing involve? •  Parry (2013) claims that early intervention in cases of sudden cardiac arrest can increase the chance of patient survival. • Early intervention is necessary to increase the chance of patient survival in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. (Parry, 2013).

  7. Paraphrasing Use paraphrase and summary to acknowledge another author's ideas. You can extract and summarise important points, while at the same time making it clear from whom and where you have got the ideas you are discussing and what your point of view is.

  8. Paraphrasing • A good paraphrase must be: • original • accurate • grammatically correct • referenced properly

  9. Paraphrasing Read the source Make notes of the main points Write in your own words Check against article for accuracy Redraft using appropriate academic style, vocabulary and structure. Cite the source

  10. Paraphrasing Consider: “attempts to measure dignity will not be straightforward.” (Gallagher, 2011) Paraphrase: • It is difficult to measure dignity. (Gallagher, 2011) • According to Gallagher (2011), the measurement of dignity is complex.

  11. Paraphrasing And: “Ruth Macklin (2003) described dignity as a useless concept arguing that autonomy was the more useful and necessary value.” Paraphrase: • Macklin (2003) claims that the term dignity is unhelpful and that it is far better to use a term such as autonomy.

  12. Paraphrasing And: “Ruth Macklin (2003) described dignity as a useless concept arguing that autonomy was the more useful and necessary value.” Paraphrase showing opinion: • The term dignity is unhelpful, it is far better to use a word such as autonomy. (Macklin, 2003)

  13. Direct Quotations “Ruth Macklin (2003) described dignity as a useless concept arguing that autonomy was the more useful and necessary value.” Dignity is “a useless concept” according to Macklin (2003, p.1).

  14. Common queries: Direct quotations Common queries You MUST use page numbers and quotation marks in text if you are directly quoting from the source. Not acknowledging others work is classed as PLAGIARISM! “For a positive healthcare experience, patients and clients must feel that their dignity is upheld and that healthcare professionals...also view dignity as important for patients and as a valuable part of their professional practice” (Matiti & Baillie, 2011, p. 3).
