Importance of referencing

• (a) the inclusion in your essay of passages,
  sentences or even phrases quoted directly from
  other authors without acknowledgement by
  quotation marks and appropriate references or
• (b) the unacknowledged paraphrasing of the work
  of other authors, i.e. the representation, even
  in your words, of the work of other authors
  without a proper reference to the original
  source or
• (c) the use of arguments (or parts of arguments)
  derived from other authors, and the presentation
  of evidence taken from other authors without
  proper references
