SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
There is a great deal of emphasis on accurate referencing in written work for university students, but little information on the 'when', the 'why', as well as the 'how' of referencing. This book fills that gap, giving clear guidelines on how to correctly cite from external sources, what constitutes plagiarism, and how it can be avoided.
