Bibliography and Referencing
Citing sources is an important step in the research process. By doing so, IC students acknowledge the ideas/words/concepts of someone else, and avoid committing plagiarism.
There are various referencing models used around the world. At IC, we use APA (American Psychology Association 6th Edition) and MLA (Modern Languages Association, 7th Edition).
