Independent Research:Reference & Attribute
This short interactive presentation will go over how and when to reference, and why attribution is important in your work.
This presentation will take you 10-15 minutes total. You don't need to do it all at once.
Start
Let's start with a brief summary of what referencing and attribution are.
Attribution
Referencing
Attribution is essentially giving credit where credit is due. This is important for two reasons. First, you need to show that you can synthesize the ideas of others, and have found a breadth of evidence from different sources for your ideas. Perhaps more importantly, it helps us to understand exactly which ideas are yours. Improper attribution might lead us to miss out on excellent insights that are your own.
When you read something new, you evaluate information depending on where it comes from - advice from a medical doctor lands differently than a celebrity. Academic referencing is the same - readers want to know where ideas and arguments come from. As a result, we have structured conventions for pointing to a source while we write (in-text citation) and listing detailed information about where it came from in a list of references.
AND
It's likely that you've heard of plagiarism before - it's important to know that it can take multiple forms, other than just copying someone's work directly. Before we continue, decide if you think the statement below is true or false.
In academic work, you can plagiarise yourself.
