Citing & referencing
Citing means acknowledging the source you have read by adding the name of the author and the year of publication in the text of your written work e.g. Smith (1998) argues...
PLEASE NOTE: Glasgow Caledonian University does
not use just one referencing system, different subject/professional
areas use different systems and styles within these systems. Before
deciding whether you are using Harvard or Numeric, you should consult your
module handbooks and the tutor who set the work, as well as this
website.
If you are submitting an article to a journal/serial/periodical or writing a book you should take advice from the editor (often found in ‘notes for contributors’ in journals and on publishers’ websites).
Once you have decided on the system, keep to it throughout.
