00:00.000 --> 00:04.400
In this video, we will discuss how to reference your sources.

00:04.400 --> 00:09.640
We will look at choosing your referencing style, listing your sources at the end of

00:09.640 --> 00:16.720
your IA, using in-text citation, and checking in with a referencing expert, most likely

00:16.720 --> 00:19.040
your school librarian.

00:19.040 --> 00:23.900
Referencing is not directly assessed under any of the criteria, although if done poorly,

00:23.900 --> 00:26.720
it might affect your communication mark.

00:26.720 --> 00:32.560
The main reasons for referencing appropriately are to avoid plagiarism and to acknowledge

00:32.560 --> 00:33.560
your sources.

00:33.560 --> 00:43.560
There are six major referencing styles, MLA, APA, Harvard, Chicago, CSE, and ISO 690.

00:43.560 --> 00:48.080
Your school most likely has an accepted referencing style, so just go with that.

00:48.080 --> 00:51.960
If this is not the case, you can choose any of the six styles.

00:51.960 --> 00:55.760
The most commonly used style in sciences is APA.

00:55.760 --> 01:00.520
No matter which style you use, you will list your sources at the end of your IA.

01:00.520 --> 01:06.360
It is important that you only list those sources that you actually refer to in your work.

01:06.360 --> 01:12.800
If in doubt, just list the source, it is better to be on a safe site to ensure you avoid plagiarism.

01:12.800 --> 01:16.600
This is how my source list looks like in the example IA.

01:16.600 --> 01:18.740
Here I used MLA style.

01:18.740 --> 01:24.080
You should use in-text citation when you are referring to ideas from an outside source.

01:24.400 --> 01:29.120
In-text citations should appear in the body of your work.

01:29.120 --> 01:33.360
Here are some in-text citations that I used in the example IA.

01:33.360 --> 01:40.200
Finally, to be 100% sure that you avoided plagiarism, check in with a referencing expert.

01:40.200 --> 01:44.280
This person will usually be your school librarian.

01:44.280 --> 01:48.240
Librarians are amazing people and they are almost always ready to help.

01:48.240 --> 01:53.460
Just make an appointment, bring your work, and enjoy the company and conversation.

01:53.460 --> 01:58.780
This completes step 8 action 1, now you know how to reference your sources.

01:58.780 --> 02:04.780
In the next video, we will discuss how to carry out some final checks before you hand in your IA.
