    welcome to this tutorial on referencing
  • 00:00:05
    styles from the University of Reading
  • 00:00:07
    study advice team the tutorial is
  • 00:00:09
    designed for you to go through at your
  • 00:00:11
    own pace and you can pause it at any
  • 00:00:13
    time everybody knows that referencing is
  • 00:00:18
    an important academic practice and it
  • 00:00:20
    becomes even more important when you're
  • 00:00:21
    studying at university level but it's
  • 00:00:24
    quite common for people to think that as
  • 00:00:26
    long as they have acknowledged the
  • 00:00:27
    source of their ideas and done so in a
  • 00:00:29
    way that means the reader can find the
  • 00:00:31
    source for themselves that means that
  • 00:00:33
    they have referenced correctly in fact
  • 00:00:36
    there are many different styles of
  • 00:00:38
    referencing this shows just one some of
  • 00:00:41
    the ones most frequently used at the
  • 00:00:42
    University of Reading you need to find
  • 00:00:45
    out which style is preferred by your
  • 00:00:46
    department or school and if you're
  • 00:00:48
    studying modules in more than one
  • 00:00:49
    department you may even need to learn
  • 00:00:51
    how to use different styles for
  • 00:00:53
    different modules it's enough to make
  • 00:00:56
    you hopping mad there are two main
  • 00:01:00
    differences you may need to pay
  • 00:01:01
    attention to the first is in the way the
  • 00:01:04
    in-text citations are inserted and the
  • 00:01:06
    second is how the information in the
  • 00:01:08
    citations is ordered in these examples
  • 00:01:11
    are commonly used styles you can see
  • 00:01:13
    that Harvard and Vancouver Styles both
  • 00:01:15
    put their in-text references in the body
  • 00:01:17
    of the text in brackets while Oxford and
  • 00:01:20
    MHRA
  • 00:01:21
    put them in footnotes in the full
  • 00:01:24
    citations the main difference is that
  • 00:01:26
    Harvard and Vancouver have the data
  • 00:01:28
    publication immediately after the author
  • 00:01:30
    while Oxford and MH are April it at the
  • 00:01:33
    end of the citation there are often
  • 00:01:36
    small variations on these that are
  • 00:01:37
    preferred within your department so you
  • 00:01:39
    must check the examples provided for you
  • 00:01:41
    you'll usually find these in the course
  • 00:01:43
    handbook
  • 00:01:44
    it might seem petty to worry about
  • 00:01:47
    things like where you put the dates but
  • 00:01:49
    there are good reasons for getting it
  • 00:01:50
    right
  • 00:01:52
    different referencing styles are chosen
  • 00:01:55
    because they work best with the kind of
  • 00:01:56
    sources you would frequently need to use
  • 00:01:58
    in your discipline for example for
  • 00:02:01
    instance MHRA or modern Humanities
  • 00:02:04
    Research Association style is preferred
  • 00:02:06
    by English literature at reading because
  • 00:02:08
    it has rules to help you when you have
  • 00:02:10
    to refer very frequently to the same
  • 00:02:12
    primary text a novel or poem for excel
  • 00:02:17
    another reason is that it shows you can
  • 00:02:20
    work academically that is that you are
  • 00:02:22
    thinking about all of the details and
  • 00:02:25
    the small things that you need to be
  • 00:02:28
    meticulous and rigorous about and you
  • 00:02:31
    are making sure that you get things
  • 00:02:33
    right just like if you're not careful
  • 00:02:36
    about your proofreading it will look as
  • 00:02:39
    if you don't care about your work if you
  • 00:02:41
    don't seem to care about guessing you're
  • 00:02:43
    referencing right your reader will start
  • 00:02:45
    to wonder what else you might not have
  • 00:02:46
    been careful about the last point is
  • 00:02:51
    that referencing is a key professional
  • 00:02:53
    skill for academia in the same way that
  • 00:02:56
    say knowing the Latin names for common
  • 00:02:58
    illnesses is for a doctor you might
  • 00:03:01
    still be able to cure those illnesses
  • 00:03:02
    without knowing the Latin names but you
  • 00:03:05
    wouldn't give the impression of being
  • 00:03:06
    very professional and that mulled make
  • 00:03:08
    it harder for your patients to trust
  • 00:03:10
    your advice you should be able to find
  • 00:03:15
    out which style to use in your course
  • 00:03:17
    handbook which is usually on blackboard
  • 00:03:19
    you should also carefully read any
  • 00:03:21
    instructions you're given with your
  • 00:03:22
    assignment you may be able may be asked
  • 00:03:25
    to do something different by a
  • 00:03:26
    particular tutor if you can't find any
  • 00:03:29
    specific advice of someone in your
  • 00:03:31
    department your course tutor personal
  • 00:03:34
    tutor or if your department has one you
  • 00:03:36
    ask advisor one tip is that recent
  • 00:03:41
    versions of Microsoft Word have an
  • 00:03:43
    inbuilt facility to reformat references
  • 00:03:45
    in different styles so if you've already
  • 00:03:48
    used one style and you find you should
  • 00:03:49
    have used another you may be able to use
  • 00:03:51
    this to revise your citations be aware
  • 00:03:55
    though that the facility only has a
  • 00:03:56
    limited number of cells to choose from
  • 00:04:00
    so to sum up there are many referencing
  • 00:04:03
    styles and you need to make sure you're
  • 00:04:05
    using the right one for your module
  • 00:04:08
    using the right spell isn't just about
  • 00:04:11
    being petty it shows you can work
  • 00:04:13
    professionally and thoughtfully within
  • 00:04:14
    your academic discipline the best place
  • 00:04:18
    to check which style you should use is
  • 00:04:20
    in your course handbook or assignment
  • 00:04:22
    instructions if in doubt ask someone
  • 00:04:24
    else don't just guess
