Referencing Help:

  • Reusing References - weekly readings are listed in the APA 7/Harvard referencing format required for your course. This will assist you to get familiar with APA 7/Harvard referencing, and these references can be reused for your assessments. (Remove Reusing References dot point if no readings are provided for the course/subject) 
  • APA 7/Harvard Referencing Guide - provides instructions and examples for referencing the various types resources you will use in your research including the prescribed and recommended resources on this guide. Use the APA 7/Harvard Referencing Guide to add and check your references.
  • TAFE NSW Citation Generator - helps you to construct references and provides in-text referencing guidance.

Further help with referencing and research is available on the Academic Skills tab, or contact staff at your Library Location. (Link to the Locations tab if this is included, otherwise retain this link to Contacts page)

Remove this Reusing References tab if no weekly readings provided for that year. Remove this text before submitting for review.

To reuse references in the Readings boxes in a reference list:

1. Copy and Paste. Select the whole reference, right click and select Copy. When you paste the citation into MS Word, use the right mouse click to see these three options:

 For best formatting, paste using the middle option when using MS Word

2. Add today's date to online sources. For online sources (eBooks, online journal articles and websites) add or update the date accessed if required, as instructed in the APA 7/Harvard Referencing Guide.

3. Check that the formatting matches requirements for a Reference List: e.g. listed alphabetically, indented paragraphs (APA 7 only), correct punctuation, italics and capitalisation.

4. Add your in-text references as instructed in the APA 7/Harvard Referencing Guide.

 

Remove this tab if APA is not the required guide for this course. Remove this text before submitting for review.
