Dance Finding articles &

Referencing

Aims of the session

• Referencing – how to do it, hands on

practice

• Review of where to find online journal

articles

What is referencing? • Keeping a record of where you found the information you

have used in your assignment

• UCS uses an Author-Date system of referencing known as HARVARD

In-text citations Reference list/bibliography

If you quote someone in the text of your work

Bibliography – a list of all material consulted for your work

Some courses also ask for a Reference list – this is a list of all works cited in the work

Two parts to referencing

Why do I need to reference? • Keep track of your ideas – where you found information, the

person marking you work will want to see where you have got your resources from

• Proper referencing validates your own work by showing where your evidence has come from

• Gives credit to the work of others - spreads knowledge –others can find out more

What is plagarism? • Presenting someone else’s work as your own• Using another person’s work without properly crediting them • Quoting someone else without citing the original in your source • Making small changes to someone else’s work and pretending it is your

own

Methods of recording material

A-Z Notebook – record your entries alphabetically in a simple notebook

Index cards – record entries alphabetically

Word document – keep a word document of your references

RefWorks – Online electronic system

Zotero- Online plugin for Firefox, free, similar to RefWorks

• Get into the habit of recording your sources as you use them – it will save you time in the long run

In-text citations – direct quotations

• In-text citations are made up of the following elements

• Author or editors name, followed by a comma

• Date of publication, followed by a comma

• Page number(s)

• And the citation is enclosed by brackets

Example: “Conceptual and subsequent postmodern critiques of photography have long been institutionalized” (Miles, 2010, p.57)

Summarising or paraphrasing someone else

• You need to acknowledge the source of the original source

• Include the authors name in your text,

• Bracket the year of publication

• Include the page number that you are referring to

Example

• In a recent article Miles (2010, P. 57) describes documentary photography as....
