Referencing is the practice of acknowledging and describing other pieces of work that you have read or used whilst completing your own assignment/essay/report etc…
We are Stafford shire University students we have to follow the Harvard Referencing method.
When the lecture was going on I was thinking why we need to reference. After the lecture I got that we need to reference ,
- To show how widely you have read around the subject in order to complete your own work.
- To enable other people to trace the sources you have used easily.
- To acknowledge other pieces of work you may have read, quoted from or paraphrased.
- If you need to refer it in a later day it will be much easier to retrieve it back
- If the reader wants to read the original source
What is Harvard reference.,
Harvard is a generic term for any style which contains author-date references in the text of the document, such as (Smith 1999). There will also be a list of references at the end of the document, arranged by authors' names and year of publication. There is no official manual of the Harvard style: it is just a generic term for the many styles which follow that format. The UQ Library Harvard Style is based on the AGPS/AGIMO style manual. The latest edition of that manual is the 6th edition (2002).
