Citing or referencing information provides the reader of your report with the following details:
- Who wrote the information you have used.
- Where the information was found.
In your report, information must be cited in two places:
1. In-text reference- when you use a quotation or summarise ideas from one or more authors, place a brief citation in the text of the report where the information is used.
2. Reference List/ Bibliography - at the end of your report add a Reference List which includes all the in-text references, or a Bibliography listing all the information sources used in compiling your report.
The Harvard Referencing style is used throughout this module and is the recommended method at Central Institute of Technology. Learn more about Harvard by downloading this style guide.
