About The Reference Generator
If
you've ever had to write Reports, Essays or Theses, you
will have had to reference what you have used in your
report. If you mention something that someone else has
written, you need to give them credit.
The
Harvard Referencing System is one of the
preferred layouts for these references. It is a
relatively strict way of arranging the bibliographical
information.
This
tool takes in the raw information - author, title, year
of publication - and creates the reference in the
correct form.
You
can then highlight and copy these into your essays and
reports.
Why have a Bibliography in an Essay or
Report?
A Bibliography is a list of the books (or other sources of information) that you consulted when writing an essay, report, thesis or dissertation.
When doing research, we very rarely come up with our own theories. These take time to develop, and involve putting them out for debate. By researching the theories of others, we include ideas in our works that have already gone through that academic testing.
However, you have to be aware that you are using someone else's work for your own benefit. You will get the marks, but the author of the ideas may have put in decades of research to come up with the concepts.
Therefore, you need to ensure that you reference your sources - essentially giving credit to the person whom you are citing.
