Why should I reference my work?

  •       To  acknowledge the sources of information you have used just as authors of books and journal articles list the sources they have used

  •       It is academic courtesy to acknowledge the work of others - none of us know everthing and we rely on the work of others

  •       Your lecturers/readers need to see how widely you have read; whether you have used key sources and how up to date your information is

  •       Your lecturers/readers need to be able to verify the information you have used.
