LEARNING CONCEPTS
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.
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.
Example: Fredrickson, B. L. (2000, March 7). Cultivating positive emotions to optimize health and well-being.

"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.
What is PLAGIARISM?
Plagiarism is a term that describes the unacknowledged use of someone's work. This includes material
or ideas from any (published or unpublished) sources, whether print, web-based (even if freely available) or
audiovisual. Using the words or ideas of others without referencing your source would be construed as plagiarism
and is a very serious academic offence. At the end of the day, it is regarded as stealing intellectual property.
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.
