The world wide web (WWW) and referencing
The web has become a ready source of information for assignments. Avoid plagiarising web-based resources by:
- citing your sources
- consulting the CSU guide, APA Referencing Summary
- referencing all material
- recording details for in-text and end-text referencing
Even if there is no author/no year, you still need to reference any material you have used from the web.
Refer to the Learning Skills resources for APA Style referencing to check how to reference electronic material, including web pages within a website, works published inelectronic format, electronic reproductions of work based on a print source, electronic transcriptions of works, email, listserv, forum and newsgroups.
Be aware that lecturers and subject coordinators are now using software to detect plagiarised material from online sources.
