Pery Square Business College – Guide to Referencing
What is referencing?
Any academic submission must have references. This is where you use quotations from the published work of others to back up points that you are making. If you use the work of another person and do not reference it, this is considered to be plagiarism and you will be given a ZERO grade.
Quotations
You must put inverted commas (“) before and after (“) a direct quotation. At the end of the quotation you must include a reference. This is a note to the reader telling him or her where you got your reference. A reference should be enclosed in brackets at the end of the quotation
EXAMPLE:
You must include the authors surname; the first initial of the Christian name; the year of publication and the number of the page on which you found the reference – i.e.
(Delaney, J. 2005. p.5)
(Note: The name of the book DOES NOT go into the bracket)
Citations
If you take ANY ideas from the work of another, then you must also reference that – even if you have put it into your own words.
EXAMPLE
This citation method gives prominence to the author’s surname as part of your sentence with the date and page number.

Tutor Notes
You cannot reference the class notes of a tutor as these are not published sources. You must take the time to read the original sources and references yourself – lecture notes are only meant to guide you through your reading requirements for the course.
Bibliography
At the end of each piece of written work you should list all of the sources of information that you used in the assignment in alphabetical order by authors name. Each reference needs to contain enough information for the original work to be easily tracked down
