When using someone else's text, ideas, research data, images or any form of information, you should always refer to the source of that information (the original publication), regardless of where it comes from. Your source could, for example, be an article from a scientific journal, a thesis, a conference report or a publication on the internet.
For more information about citing, paraphrasing and avoiding plagiarism, visit the LibGuide Citing Sources.
Citing rules indicate how literature used in the text, any footnotes or endnotes and the bibliography (also called a bibliography) should be noted. The rules are often laid down in a so-called citation style.
Within ISW the APA style 7th edition is used.
For more information about citing and referencing in APA style, visit the LibGuide page Citing/APA style.
It might be useful to have a spot where you can save all your literature references. There are several of these so-called reference management systems. Examples are Refworks, EndNote, Mendeley or Zotero. These systems also offer the useful option to (automatically) create in-text citations and reading lists.
Good reference management enables you to work more effectively and efficiently.
These tools are also very useful for easily integrating references into your text and (automatically) creating the corresponding bibliography.
You will find more information on reference management systems in the LibGuide Reference Management.
