I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
When you write or when you do something, you put your heart into it. What

when somebody is using your work without acknowledging you as the owner of
such craft. Acknowledging sources is a sign of respect to one another. In this
lesson, you will know how to properly cite different sources.

B. Let Us Study
A bibliography is the list of the sources you use to get information for
your report. It is included at the end of your report, on the last page (or last few
pages). In writing a bibliography, you need to note down the following information:
the full title, author, place of publication, publisher, and date of publication for
each source.

Here are the formats on how to write a bibliography with APA Format (American
Psychological Association

Book Format: Author's last name, first initial. (Publication date). Book title.
Additional information. City of publication: Publishing company. (LFDTACPC)
Example: Boorstin, D. (1992). The creators: A history of the heroes of the
imagination. New York: Random House.

Citation from a Book:

Example: Carpio, Rustica C. Crisscrossing Through Afro-Asian Literature. Pasig
City. Anvil Publishing, Inc. 2006.

Citation from a Magazine:

Harlow, H. F. (1983). Fundamentals for preparing psychology journal articles.
Journal of Comparative and Physiological Psychology, Vol. No.55, pp.893-896.

Magazine & Newspaper Article Format: Author's last name, first initial. (Publication
date). Article title. Periodical title, volume number (issue number if available),
inclusive pages.
A. If a periodical includes a volume number, italicize it and then give the page
range (in regular type) without "pp."
Example: Fundamentals for preparing psychology journal articles. Journal of
Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 55, 893-896.
B. If the periodical does not use volume numbers, as in newspapers, use p. or pp.
for page numbers.
C. (1993, February 15). Culture shopping. New Yorker, pp. 48-51. Note: Unlike
other periodicals, p. or pp. precedes page numbers for a newspaper reference in
APA style.

Note: When citing Internet sources, refer to the specific website document. If a
document is undated, use "n.d." (for no date) immediately after the document title

What is now then the difference between reference lists and bibliographies?

The reference list only includes the sources cited in your text. For example, you
just listed all the sources you use in the text you are doing. The reference list does
not usually follow proper way of citing references. It is not the same thing as a
bibliography, which uses the same referencing style, but also includes all material
(for example, background readings) used in the preparation of your work.

As good individual who respect intellectual property rights, you should

remember to cite your sources in order not to be charged of plagiarism.

The following are considered forms of plagiarism:

 Passing off as your own a piece of work that is partly or wholly the work of
another student
 Citing and referencing sources that you have not used
 Quoting, summarizing or paraphrasing material in your assignment
without citing the original source
 'Recycling' a piece of your own work that you have previously submitted for
another module or course (i.e. self-plagiarism).

 How are we going to avoid PLAGIARISM?
In many cases, students who find themselves accused of plagiarizing often have
done so unintentionally. Poor organization and time management, as well as
a failure to understand good academic practice, are often to blame. You
might therefore find it helpful to note the following points:
 Manage your time and plan your work – ensure that you have enough
time to prepare, read and write.
 When paraphrasing an author's text, ensure that you use your own
words and a sentence structure sufficiently different from the original
text.
 In your notes, highlight in colour/bold any direct quotations you want to
use in your assignment - this will help to ensure you use quotation
marks with an appropriate reference when you are writing up your work.
 Allow enough time to check your final draft for possible referencing errors
or omissions: for example, check that all your in-text citations have a
corresponding entry in your reference list, and vice versa.
 Save all your notes, files, printouts and so on until you receive your final
mark or grade.
