Post-10: Reference-details-you-need-to-include-in-your-works
Dear All,
I'd like to remind you again about the necessity to add the information about the resource(s) you have used in your works. Let's say you quoted smb.'s work in yours to make your introduction more engaging or to support the argument you are making or maybe you've paraphrased smb's words or added a summary of some information you have read. In all these cases you need to provide a reference to the resource(s) you have used. It's not enough to just mention the author. There is more information you need to give to your readers.What for, you may ask? For the others to access the resources you have referenced if necessary. It is a common feature of academic and research writing, which is necessary to build up our knowledge and understanding in a variety of fields.
Remember too that the details you need to provide depend on whether you are making an in-text or the end of the document reference.
This is what you need to do: in the body of your work, you just need to include the number, indicating what resource you are referencing like this (1). For now you often have just one reference. Still, you need to follow these guidelines.
In the end of your work you need to include full reference details about the resource(s) you have used.
It should contain the following details:
The Author(s): Last Name, First Name Website title URL Date accessed
Here is a reminder about adding links to the resources you refer to in your posts and making it convenient to use by the others:
Copy the address of the website from the address line
Provide a link and make sure it opens in a new window
Also, use the URL shortener Bit.ly to make the link easy to use.
Make sure you have used the option "Open in the new window" so that a new resource opens in a new window:
