TASK 1
How to reference and site sources correctly
Referencing refers to the procedure of acknowledging the sources which has been used
by the writer. It is very important to reference and cite the sources correctly while writing a
report because if there is an error in this function than this may result in inappropriate report. It
allows the observer to verify the documents quickly and easily (How to reference and cite
sources, 2018). These sources should be chosen from specific websites and also take a look that
all of them are right or not. This may help to leave a good impression on the observer of the
assignment. Sometimes the researcher do not include right sources and choose such sources that
are not relevant to their report this may reduce the effectiveness of assignment. If the link is very
long than this may be shorten by the writer but shortening should be done effectively so that
important information wont get missed which has been provided by original link. It is essential to
provide the name of government body or university who are related to the source.
If the information written in the report has been collected by personal interview than it
should be addressed as personal communication the assignment. It can be in texted as Mr. Abc,
pers. comm. Before using this method the researchers should ensure that they have permissions
from their contact person with whom they have communicated this will help the observer to
analyse that original and transparent information is recorded in the report (Biggam, 2015).
Pictures, maps and images that are shown in the assignment should also be cited like all
the other sources. Firstly the writer should add caption to the images and than add a source right
after the caption. The source is that site, article or journal from where the image or picture has
been taken. It is very important to take permissions while using any scientific article which is
copyrighted it can be taken by contacting with copyright owner. For the image the author, year
and topic should be cited by the person who is writing a report (Pears and Shields, 2016).
To reference and cite the sources correctly it is vital to note down the name of author,
title of journal or article, date, other publication details that are related to the sources that are
used while preparing the report. Appropriate referencing from established work of experts and
authorities can help to create an assignment which is accurate and presenting right information.
While recording information in the assignment the write should ignore plagiarism that occur
while pasting information direct from websites. Students should assure that they are using their
1

own words while paraphrasing a text of author. While paraphrasing the writers are suggested to
site original sources of data that is recorded in assignment. Proper referencing and citations help
to add credibility to the work and provide evidences to support arguments and comments. There
are various type of references styles such as APA, Harward, MLA, Chiocago and AMA, that are
used by the students. APA style is mostly used while studying a topic related to social science,
MLA is used for liberal arts and humanities and AMA is used for medical research. The students
should determine that what type of references are required for their report so that it can be
prepared appropriately (Mostaghimi and Boulos, 2015).
It is also important while referencing to identify the author and title for each source so
that detailed information can be provided to the observers. Nest step is to write the information
about the publication of that journal or article which has been chosen as a source for the report. If
writers are willing to add any online source than actual URL should be copied from website and
than add it to the references. Writer should click the link after recording to check that it is
actually opening or not and to assure that right URL is added to the references.
Students should in text the sources in bracket in the paraphrased material. It is suggested
to them that they should cite immediately right after paraphrasing so that right source can be
added to assignment. If Chicago style has been chosen for citation than a foot note should be
inserted in the report that includes same information as bibliography citation with different
grouping. To ignore plagiarism in writing citing right sources is very important. If the resources
are not cited appropriately than it may affect accuracy of report and observers may think that
material is not correct (Harman, Koohang and Paliszkiewicz, 2014).
