References / bibliography

In References (sometimes also called Bibliography) you list all the sources (articles, books, websites, ...) you have used in your report. 

As already mentioned in the building block about Citing sources, there are various reasons for explicitly indicating the sources for all the information you have used from elsewhere:

  1. That (other) experts also say this, provides additional persuasiveness,
  2. Others can read on in the cited resource if they want to know more,
  3. You show that you are aware of what others have done on this topic,
  4. By being clear about what pieces of text are from others, you cannot be accused of plagiarism.

These reasons are just as valid if you have written the information in your own words, as when you quoted them literally!

Word has a useful tool for citing sources
in the References tab.

Word has a useful tool for citing, which allows you to automatically generate a Bibliography and ensures correct referencing to sources in your text. 

Make sure to set the citation style to APA. This is the standard used within Saxion.
