Abstract

References are used to provide guidance and support for arguments in academic texts – this is how the collaborative web of scientific thinking is supposed to be weaved. Wrecked references, misleading references or failure to reference relevant material will for that reason corrupt the entire research endeavour. This chapter discusses when you should use references; how you should use references; and what you should refer to. It also runs through formal technicalities related to referencing.
