Why reference?
When preparing a piece of work it is important that any sources you refer to are cited correctly. It is essential that you provide detailed, accurate information about the sources you have used to demonstrate the range of your reading, give authority to the statements you include in your written work, allow readers to find the sources you have used, and ensure you are not accused of plagiarism.
How the Library can help you
Learn how to reference your sources quickly and correctly using Cite Them Right.
1) Go to www.citethemrightonline.com
2) Choose what type of material you want to reference.
3) Log in with your University user ID and password when prompted.
4) You'll then be given the citation order to follow.
Cite Them Right will default to the Harvard (author-date) referencing system. To select a different system, such as APA or OSCOLA, simply select a different system from the drop-down menu. There are various styles of citation and although these vary in style the same principles apply. Your Faculty will advise you on the style you should use.
