Week 5 Lecture 1

Referencing (part 2)
 Lecture objective

o Expand your knowledge of

referencing and apply what you have
learned so far.
Examples not covered in the first lecture:
Referencing a source within a source
o This kind of referencing should be avoided if
possible, but sometimes the original source may not be
available.
o In such cases you must use both authors’ surnames in
the in-text reference either at the end of a sentence or
as part of your sentence.
o You do not have to include the original source in
your reference list.
 Information from another source quoted or
paraphrased in the one you decide to use
o When using Harvard you say “cited in”.

Finally, the physiotherapist has to ensure that “‘the

intended good of revealing the confidential information
outweighs the harm it might bring about’” (Smith cited in
Portilo, 1990, pp. 300-301).

o Note that if a quote or paraphrase runs over two pages,

you use “pp.” instead of “p.”.
 Other examples not covered in the first
lecture
o If you combine information from two sources, you should cite
both in-text, separated by a semi-colon. For example: (Davids,
2013, p.3; Michaels, 2015, p.15).
o If you have two sources by the same author, published in the
same year you can add an “a” and “b” to differentiate between
them. For example: (Magona, 2014a, p.42) and (Magona, 2014b,
pp. 76-77).
o If you have two or more sources by authors with the same
surname, include their initials in the in-text reference so your
reader knows who you are citing. For example: (F. Mohamed,
2015, p. 32) and (T. Mohamed, 2012, p. 23).
 Question 1
Carolyn Sue Richards writes that “[o]ne of the biggest
challenges in clinical genome testing is how to determine
whether a change in a gene is actually disease-causing or
not” (2018, no pagination).
O Without rewording the first part of the sentence and adding a comma or
colon before the quote, the first word of the quote should be in lowercase.
O There is no second quotation mark to close the quote.
O The full stop should be after the in-text reference.
O The in-text reference shouldn’t use the author’s first name.
O Since the author’s surname is in the sentence itself it doesn’t have to be
repeated in the in-text reference, but “no pagination” should be added to
indicate that it is an online source.

 Reflect and review
Do you feel more prepared for next week’s test after this activity?

What do you think you should focus on in your preparation?

List at least one previously unfamiliar word or concept you

encountered in this class along with its definition. You can also
include ones that you have a different or deeper understanding of
after this lesson.
