•
information is taken from another source, the work and its source must be
acknowledged and identified where it occurs in the text;
Quotations: inverted commas must always be used to identify direct
•
quotations, and the source of the quotation must be cited;
References: the full details of all references and other sources must be
•
listed in a section at the end of any piece of work, such as an essay,
together with the full publication details. This is normally referred to as a
“List of References” and it must include details of any and all sources of
information that the student has referred to in producing their work. (This is
slightly different to a Bibliography, which may also contain references and
sources which, although not directly referred to in your work, you consulted
in producing your work).
3.3 Students may wish to refer to the following examples which illustrate the basic
principles of plagiarism and how students might avoid it in their work by using
some very simple techniques:
3.4 What follows are examples of the measures that students should employ in
order to correctly cite the words, thought or ideas of others that have influenced
their work:

3.4.1 Example 2: Quoting the work of others
If a student wishes to cite a passage of text in order to support their own
work, the correct way of doing so is to use quotation marks (e.g. “ “) to show
that the passage is someone else’s work, as follows:
“One of the key problems in setting a strategic framework for a college
or university is that the individual institution has both positive and
negative constraints placed upon its freedom of action”.
3.4.2 Example 3: Referencing the work of others
除了使用引號以外，學生也必須使用一個
文內引用。如果被引用的是一本書，頁碼
通常是必需的。因此，采用哈佛系統的一本書：
In addition to using quotation marks as above, students must also use a
text citation. If the work being cited is a book, page numbers would also
normally be required. Thus, using the Harvard system for a book:
“One of the key problems in setting a strategic framework for a college
or university is that the individual institution has both positive and
negative constraints placed upon its freedom of action” (Jones, 2001,
p121).
The same reference could also be made to a book using the numeric
system:
“One of the key problems in setting a strategic framework for a college
or university is that the individual institution has both positive and
negative constraints placed upon its freedom of action” (Ref.1, p121).
More often, a piece of work will have multiple references and this serves to
show an examiner that the student is drawing from a number of sources.
For example, articles by Brown and by Smith may be cited as follows in
3.4.3 Example 4: Use of reference lists
Whichever system is used, a list must be included at the end, which allows
the reader to locate the works cited for themselves. The Internet is also an
increasingly popular source of information for students and details must

again be provided. You should adhere to the following guidelines in all
cases where you reference the work of others:
If the source is a book, the required information is as follows:
