In the School of Health and Social Care we use the APA 7th style of referencing and we have an APA 7th referencing guide, which you can use to help you format your references.
Referencing is an important skill at university that allows you to demonstrate the sources you have used to help you complete your assignments and acknowledge the work of others. If you include the work or ideas of others without referencing these, this is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct, please see the university guidance on academic integrity for more information on how to avoid plagiarism.
You may also want to consider using reference management software to organise and manage the sources you are using, and help input citations and references into your assignments. You can learn more about these tools on our Reference Management guide.
