Various style of referencing Every college
and university tutor wants their students to
follow the referencing style set by them.
Following is the list of some referencing style

to the Author-Date style of referencing and
citation. The order of writing Harvard style
referencing is Surname, Initial(s). Date. Title.

referencing to avoid plagiarism Maintain a
routine of recording bibliographic information
and pages numbers at the time of usage. Make
sure you follow the same format of referencing
throughout your writing. To avoid the chances of
plagiarism, try to separate your work that you
have originally created from the notes made from
other sources. Cross-check your in-text
references and end-text references whether they
have corresponding entries. Take plenty of time
to make and proofread your references before the
submission of your assignment. Now, that you
know the proper way to cite your sources and the
various style of referencing, you can avoid
