Presenting a Bibliography:
A bibliography is a list of sources that have been used in writing an essay (or other pieces of coursework). It includes all books, chapters in edited books, journal articles, magazine articles, newspaper articles, official publications, websites etc. that have been read in planning and writing an essay, regardless of whether or not a reference has been cited in the essay. (Some departments prefer students to provide a reference list containing only those items which have been cited in the essay. However, the style in which the references are presented is the same whether the list is a reference list or bibliography so this guide uses both terms.)
The bibliography/reference list is presented at the end of the essay using single line-spacing, and is excluded from the word-count of the essay.
References should be placed in alphabetical order by surname of author/s.
If there are two or more references to the same author, they should be presented in chronological order with the earliest reference presented first.
If there are two or more references to the same author in the same year, they should be distinguished by adding a, b, c, etc. after the year of publication. Very occasionally the names of the author/s, the year of publication and other referencing details may not be evident from the material read.
If no author is named, the title of the article/website etc. should be moved into the author position in the reference and this title is then put in the correct alphabetical position within the list of authors in the bibliography/reference list.
If the publication is not dated, (n.d.) should be recorded.
If other referencing details are missing, (not known) should be recorded in the bibliographic reference. The style of presenting a bibliographic reference varies according to the type of reference (e.g. book, journal article, film, website etc.).
Below are details of the most common types of material you may reference:
Books
Electronic books
Chapters in edited books
Journal articles
Magazine articles
Newspaper articles
Official publications
Conference papers
Website material
Electronic journal articles which are duplicates of the printed version
Articles retrieved from a full-text database
ASSIGNMENTS ARE INDIVIDUAL TASKS AND NOT GROUP ACTIVITIES.
Plagiarised work will not be accepted. Plagiarism includes:
- Copying another’s language or ideas as if they were your own
- Unauthorised collusion
- Quoting directly without making it clear by standard referencing and the use of quotation marks and/or layout (indented paragraphs, for example) that you are doing so
- Using text downloaded from the internet without referencing the source conventionally
- Closely paraphrasing a text
- Submitting work which has been undertaken wholly or in part by someone else.
The aim of the assignments is not the reproduction of existing material, but to ascertain whether you have the ability to integrate existing ideas, analysis, issues etc. and add your own interpretation and/or critique of the above.
- Candidates who submit unsourced copied text will obtain a fail for that assignment and it will not be counted in their Delta Module 2 portfolio. There will be no resubmission of this assignment allowed.
- If plagiarism is detected for a second time, the candidate will not be allowed to continue with the course and no refund of the course fees will be given.
- It is also unacceptable to do somebody else’s work, to lend your work to them or to make your work available to them to copy.
