Acknowledgement and referencing help

Scholars must be very careful about acknowledging where information and ideas came from. Different disciplines have specific ways of referencing and you need to know these rules. Referencing properly requires practice and takes time to master, particularly if you have never had to do it before starting your studies here. Become more confident by getting the referencing help you need.

The Library has useful guides which can help you out, as well as an interactive academic referencing tool, which will provide examples of the specific type of referencing required in your area of study.
