How to cite
IDENTIFY THE SOURCES YOU HAVE USED
When writing a paper or thesis, it is important to have a solid understanding of the principles behind citing and recording sources. That means you have to make it clear which ideas are your own and which come from other people. You acknowledge your sources and this safeguards your academic integrity. The Library can offer you support in correctly citing and recording sources.
EXAMPLES
- In-text citations including the author’s surname and the year of publication should be shown in brackets wherever another source has contributed to your work
- A reference list outlining all of the sources directly cited in your work
