Writing skills: Academic referencing and avoiding plagiarism
When:
—
Venue:
Online
All academic writing contains references - information from other texts that supports your argument. Referencing and citation is how we tell the reader where that information comes from. Learning the conventions of referencing and citation is an essential academic skill. It is also important to understand how and why to use references to support your own ideas.
In this academic writing workshop we will:
- Present and discuss the key concepts of referencing, including: style guides, in-text references, footnotes and reference lists
- Learn how to write references for quotations and paraphrases
- Understand what plagiarism is and how to avoid it
