Citing and referencing

Citing and referencing material used in your assignment or thesis enables others to verify facts and ideas in your work more easily, and shows you're acting in an ethical manner. Researchers (e.g. PhD students, Staff) have a responsibility to acknowledge others' work appropriately, including all data used, as detailed in the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research 2018 (R25 and R26). Acknowledgements may be in the form of in-text citations, footnotes or endnotes and a reference list or bibliography.

Choose one of the style guides below to help you cite and reference correctly. Contact your lecturer if you're unsure about which style to use for your subject.
