01 Introduction
When you write an assignment for Kaplan, you will be expected to use information form different sources to support and
develop your thinking. Referencing is a standard practice used in academic writing to show your reader which ideas you have
gathered from other sources and where those ideas came from. Referencing also helps you to avoid plagiarism.
Referencing in your assignment demonstrates:
• Good research conduct by lending credibility to your work;
• Your knowledge;
• The range of ideas and approaches you have found and thought about;
• That you have acknowledged the sources of those ideas and where they can found.

01 Introduction > 1.1 When do I need to reference?
Every time you include words, ideas or information from a source (whether it is a website, book or journal article) in your assignment, you must include an in-text reference to show that this content has been gathered from somewhere. For each source that you reference in-text,
you must also create an entry in the reference list at the end of the assignment.
In-text references must be included whenever you:
• Paraphrase someone else’s ideas into your own words;
• Summarise someone else’s ideas into your words;
• Quote someone else’s ideas in their exact words;
• Copy or adapt a diagram, table or any other visual material.

01 Introduction > 1.2 How do I cite in-text?
An in-text reference is provided each time you refer to ideas or information from another source, and includes the following details:
• The author(s) family name / authorising body or organisation;
• The year of publication; and
• Page numbers (where applicable).
There are two main ways to present an in-text reference.
OPTION A) This way gives prominence to the information by placing the reference at the end of your sentence in brackets:
OPTION B) This way gives prominence to the author by placing the reference in the body of your sentence, with the author’s name incorporated
into the sentence structure and the date in brackets:
Page numbers should be included when you quote part of a source in word format, summarise or paraphrase an idea from a specific page, or
refer to tables, figures, statistics, and images.
