How to clearly refer to<br />
others’ ideas<br />
Please advise students early and often on how to<br />
cite and reference properly. This serves to increase<br />
the reader’s confidence in a text by improving<br />
clarity and orientation. Failure to clearly indicate<br />
references to others’ ideas often results in intentional<br />
or unintentional plagiarism. Plagiarism is a type<br />
of fraud and means that “the reader is unable to<br />
discern whether texts or images are original or<br />
reproduced” (TUD Library, n.d.). It arises when a<br />
student cites sources improperly. A study found<br />
three main reasons: bad time management on the<br />
student’s part, ease of access to information that<br />
can be copied, for example from the internet, and<br />
the education set-up itself – unmotivated lecturers<br />
or overly theoretical assignments (Comas-Forgas &<br />
Sureda-Negre, 2010).<br />
