When do I need to provide a reference?
Answer
You should reference every time you use an idea or piece of information from another person or organisation, and every time you make a claim.
Be sure to reference your source when:
- You quote another person's spoken or written words
- You paraphrase another person's spoken or written words
- You refer to another person’s ideas, words, or opinions
- You use any kind of information that is not common knowledge (e.g., facts, graphs, drawings)
