You can find practical tips on study technique, how to find and use information, writing and citing techniques in web guides such as Search & Write and VIKO.

Referencing and literature lists

You are required to cite the literature you have used in your assignment or thesis. The reason for this is to give credit to the original authors and to let others find your sources.

Quotations need to be clearly marked in the text.
The source of the quotation should be given in the text and in the literature list.

Referencing should be done in a standardised way through the use of a referencing style.
There are many standardised referencing styles available. TUC does not have a required style.
It is important that you chose a style and use it consistently.
Check with your faculty or institute to see if they have a preferred style.

The most-used referencing styles

Harvard Alphabetical style

APA Alphabetical style based on Harvard Style

IEEE Numerical style. Used mainly in techonology

Vancouver Numerical style. Used mainly in biomedicine
