  15. See APA task HCA 2004.doc REFERENCING USING APA (this is the document) What is referencing? When you are writing as a student or a professional (eg in essays or reports), you will frequently be expected to refer to the work of other writers / experts in your subject area (sources), and formally acknowledge them by including their identifying details. This is called referencing, or citing. When writers say that sources are cited in a text, they mean other people’s ideas have been referred to, often to back up or develop a point being made. It is essential to include the source’s details next to your citations / references. Failure to do this is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence (see your programme’s Student Handbook). Learning to reference correctly is your best protection against charges of plagiarism. Paraphrasing and quoting are two ways you can reproduce the source’s ideas in your text and yet avoid plagiarism. paraphrasing. Paraphrasing is putting their ideas into your own words, including the author/s and date of your source. Eg from Janet Hunt’s 1998 biography of Hone Tuwhare (page 109): “The balance of Tuwhare’s life was forever altered” becomes in your essay: Hunt (1998) sees his new ‘poet’ identity as a major change in Tuwhare’s life. Direct quote. Quoting is copying the exact words from the source text, with quotation marks before and after them. The author and date may go before or after the quote (see below for details), and you must also include the number of the page you have copied from. Short quotations. Short quotations have less than forty words. Note that the full stop must go after the bracket. Although he remained committed to his identity as a boiler-maker, his fame as a poet meant that ‘the balance of Tuwhare’s life was forever altered’ (Hunt, 1998, p.109.) Long quotations. Long quotations contain 40 or more words. Long quotations “should be started on a new line, and all lines should be indented five spaces from the left hand margin, creating a distinctly separate block of text. No quotation marks are necessary. The format for the author, date and page number is the same as for short quotations, except that instead of being part of the quote, they go at the end of it (after its final full stop).” (Undergraduate Handbook, 2003, page 78) In addition, a list of all the sources (references) you have referred to must be included as your last page. list of references. It is titled ‘References’ and includes author, title, and publication details for all of them. It is sometimes called a Bibliography but the use of that word is not quite accurate. A bibliography is a more comprehensive list of background reading on a subject, not just a list of those texts specifically referred to. There are a number of referencing systems used in different subject disciplines. They are very detailed, and it is well worth learning how to reference properly using one system. Good quality academic and professional writing is always referenced correctly. The Faculty of Health uses APA format for referencing.
