and Record Keeping
School of Management Library Team
Learning Objectives
1. To understand what plagiarism is.2. To know how to use the APA 6th full guide to
complete in-text citations and a reference list.
3. To know that a record keeping system is needed to help with 1. and 2. above.
Direct Quotation (obviously, but....)
Don’t use too many direct quotes. Your lecturers want to see that you can interpret the information for yourself.
Someone’s work or idea
You must give credit to the sources you used. Including yourself!
Don’t quote this source.....
.....first read, then quote the quality sources found here.
Unintentional plagiarism
Is unfortunate, but you will still be penalised.
You need a system to make sure you don’t slip up.
