A-level - AQA Extended Project: How to...: Citation and References

It is very important to reference ALL your sources because it tells your reader:

 You MUST reference all the resources and ideas that you use in order to avoid plagiarism.

At Tanglin Trust School we use the Harvard Anglia Ruskin method of citation and referencing. 

You can find lots of information on how to reference particular types of resources here:

Harvard Anglia Referencing website

A citation is added in the body of your text to signal where you are using a source.

It tells the reader:

• the idea or information comes from somewhere else
• where to look for more information on that source

Your References List will give full details of where to find your sources. 

Your list will be in alphabetical order by the author's last name. 

There must be 100% correspondance between the sources you cite in your text and the sources listed in your references.

This video provides an introduction to creating your citations and references.
