Referencing and using the APA 7th edition system of referencing within your academic work is of vital importance.

The reasons why you need to reference in your work are predominantly to show:

  • the sources you have used for your reading & research within your work
  • to fully support the arguments you are making in your written paper
  • to maintain and protect the intellectual property of the original writer(s)/ thinker(s)

To fail to reference and cite your sources correctly in academic work may lead you to be accused of plagiarism, this is a serious issue and may have severe consequences.

There are many useful sources of information throughout UTS to help you get familiar with this system of referencing. Please refer to the Library’s APA Referencing Guide in the first instance for advice and guidance on how to reference correctly.
