Library guide Referencing and citing Janet MacKay, July 2015 UG GEN007 [http://www.abdn.ac.uk/library/documents/guides/gen/uggen007.pdf] Please note: some examples in this guide have been altered slightly to reflect the latest editions of the source material referred to (see page 9) and changes in general referencing practices. 1. Introduction This guide explains how to record what you have read and referred to in your written work, both within the text (citing) and at the end of your written work (bibliography). It is vital that you acknowledge what resources - print and electronic (including the Web) - you have referred to in your report or essay if you don t, you can be accused of plagiarism - the unacknowledged use of other people s words and ideas. This is cheating. There are two systems of referencing: author/date and numerical. Within these systems there are more than 3000 different styles. This guide provides a basic introduction and covers only three of the more common styles. There is no single style used across the University. In fact style preferences can vary within a School or Department. Always check your course handbook and/or ask your supervisor. You may lose marks for poor referencing. Students of the School of Education and the School of Law have their own specific referencing styles and they should use the separate education and law guides rather than this one. 2. Citing within the text When you refer in your written work to someone else s ideas, whether you are using your own words (paraphrasing) or quoting their exact words (never more than a couple of sentences), you must provide a short citation in the text using one of the following: AUTHOR/DATE SYSTEM (eg and ) Using the method, put the author s surname and year of publication in round brackets immediately before or after the text. eg (in the text) Smith (2001, p. 45) has argued that. OR life is a sham (Brown, 2008, p. 23). NUMERIC SYSTEM (eg ) Use a running number in the text which links to the numbering in the bibliography at the end. eg (in the text) Archer (3) claims that (and in the bibliography at the end) 3. Archer, D. (2007) Global warming. Oxford: Blackwell. USING FOOTNOTES (eg Chicago and ) Use a running number for each chapter and cite the work in a footnote at the bottom of the page. eg ( style in the text) Moffat argues that our landscape has formed our history. 10 (and at the bottom of the page) 10 Alistair Moffat. Before Scotland (London: Thames & Hudson, 2005) p. 7. (note the inversion of the name with forename then surname). The University of Aberdeen is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC013683

OR Time is a commodity which few women possess in great quantity. 1 (then at the foot of the page) 1 Donna Dickenson. Property, women & politics. (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1997) p.7. USING QUOTATIONS If you are quoting more than a few words then indent the quotation from the rest of the text, for example: For a class in a subordinate position within the whole system of social production to become an effective contender for power it must first become conscious, both of its own position and of the antagonistic relationship that this involves with the dominant class. As Marx (1920, pp. 188-189) explains in relation to the working class: The economic conditions have in the first place transformed the mass of the people of a country into wage-workers. The domination of capital has created for this mass of people a common situation with common interests. Marx, K. (1920) The poverty of philosophy: being a translation of the misère de la philosophie (a reply to la philosophie de la misère of M. Proudhon). Translated from the French by H. Quelch. Chicago: Charles H. Kerr. (Original work published 1847). The above quotation is referenced using the style. Citing a secondary person Only cite the work that you have actually read. If you read a source that refers to the work of someone else ideally you should find and read the work that has been referred to. However, if you are unable to locate the original work you must make it clear to your reader that you are citing work that you have not read. The work that you have read is secondary as you are relying on someone else s interpretation or opinion of the original work rather than your own. For example: Smith (2007) cites Brown 2001 saying that OR Brown (2001, cited by Smith 2007) says. In your bibliography only reference Smith as you have not actually read the book by Brown. Citing personal communications, lecture notes etc. Requirements for this depend on your discipline and/or referencing style. In most instances such works are cited within the text; however a fuller citation within the reference list may not be permitted. Check your course handbook or with your supervisor. An example of a personal communication would be: Within the text: Dawson (2012, personal communication) stated that. In the bibliography: Dawson GA (2009) Phone conversation with Janet MacKay, 4 September Electronic/print format references References are intended to point the reader to the source of a statement or argument. Sources may be in print or electronic format and some styles require that the reference indicates the document format. Check your course handbook or with your supervisor to find out whether the source format is important (there can be slight variations in pagination or content between formats) and how much information you should present for electronic sources. Note: the referencing style used to require print and electronic resources to be referenced differently. This is no longer seen as necessary. If an electronic resource has all of the elements of the print version (eg page numbers, publication details) it should be referenced in the same way as the print version. 2

Corporate authors Some publications are created or written by corporate organisations rather than being attributed to individual people. This may often be the case for organisational reports and web pages. The name of the organisation is known as the corporate author eg University of Aberdeen. 3. The bibliography/reference list at the end of your written work You must create a bibliography at the end of your written piece of work. Check with your supervisor if you are expected to include everything you have read (bibliography) or simply list those items you ve referred to in the text (reference list). Whichever style is required, it is either in alphabetical order by author or in numerical order if using a numeric style. Depending on the style you use, there are conventions for how many authors to include. Generally the rule is a maximum of 2 or 3 but for some science based styles the maximum is 6. Many disciplines in the Arts & Humanities expect primary and secondary material to be listed separately. The following are some of the more common styles: : used across many disciplines : used in some areas of the Arts and Humanities : used in some science and medical areas British Standard, a variation of, requires that you put the author s family name in capitals. eg BLAXTER, L., HUGHES, C. and TIGHT, M. (2010) How to research, 4th edn. Maidenhead: Open University Press.
