You will be expected to reference all information that you have used in your essays, reports, projects or research using bibliographies (a list of the sources that you used) and in-text citations (where you found the information or quote). Referencing is a way of showing your tutors that you have researched the topic widely and used a range of relevant and creditable sources for your work.
