Comments from the reviews on Amazon.co.uk for Cite them right :

• Referencing can be a nightmare

• Referencing in the era of social media is becoming increasingly challenging and the challenges in using one's own material whilst acknowledging you've read or watched others work.

• you will lose marks if you fail to reference correctly.

• I'd been really struggling with referencing since the start of my course

• I had never had to use referencing before this and had basically NO clue.

• Referencing can be a minefield when doing essays, assignments or reports.

• It's really important to get the hang of referencing early on. Lecturers tend to be almost obsessed with whether or not students are doing this properly, and often deduct marks if it's not done right.

“This lack of attribution was totally inadvertent and due to carelessness on my part. I take full responsibility. When downloading material from the internet as part of my research, and coming back to it after a gap of maybe weeks or sometimes months, I simply did not recall that I had not written these passages myself.”

‘Students tend to use the terms ‘referencing’ and ‘plagiarism’ interchangeably, often focusing more on the offence of plagiarism rather than the act of referencing.’
