Introduction At STADIO, you will be expected to compile and submit various documents for tuition and assessment purposes. The work you submit may be in the form of study materials, assignments, reports, dissertations, proposals, essays and projects. In preparing for and compiling these documents, you will be expected to consult, read, review, analyse, debate and paraphrase information from a wide variety of sources, including books, journals, research reports, magazines, websites, eDocuments, eJournals, eBooks, films, conference proceedings, newspapers, brochures, white papers, green papers, Government Gazettes, policies and Acts. Each time you refer to an idea, concept, theory, model or explanation from an information source, you need to identify and acknowledge the source — both in the text of your document and in a reference list at the end of your document. The practice of acknowledging sources (whether produced by an author, editor, compiler, composer, director, organisation or Artificial Intelligence [AI] tools) is known as referencing. It is extremely important that you cite information sources accurately whenever you refer to or use someone else’s ideas, opinions, theories, research, data, etc. Kotze (2009:19) argues that a reference is required whenever you: quote (use someone else’s exact words). copy (use figures, tables or structure). paraphrase (convert someone else’s ideas into your own words). summarise (use a brief account of someone else’s ideas). adapt (make minor revisions or remodel someone else’s ideas, models, theories, illustrations, etc.). 1.1 WHY SHOULD YOU REFERENCE? According to Harris (2000:23), references assist the author to: acknowledge all the sources of information accessed. substantiate arguments and discourse within the text. avoid plagiarism, even when it is unintentional. enable the reader(s) to follow up the source material. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 4 show the scope and depth of the research. strengthen the academic argument in the text. show the reader the source of their information. enable the reader to consult their sources independently. enable the reader to verify the information/data provided in the text. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 5 2. 2.1 Plagiarism WHAT IS PLAGIARISM AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE OF IT? In the academic context, we are continually engaging with other people’s ideas. We read them in texts, hear them in lectures, discuss them in class, and consequently, often incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due by clearly signalling to the reader the precise sources from which ideas and information have been taken. Whenever you produce written work, such as assignments or answers to exam questions, you must differentiate between your own ideas and those of others. You must distinguish what you have written from what you are quoting directly or from what you are referring to. Using someone else’s ideas and not crediting those ideas properly (by referencing and citing your sources) and thus presenting them as your own is plagiarism. Plagiarism is cheating or academic fraud. Students found guilty of plagiarism will be punished. Examples of plagiarism are: Copying word for word (verbatim) from sections of a text (books, articles, newspaper and magazine articles, study materials, etc.). Using someone else’s work or ideas in a slightly altered form (such as substituting words for others with a similar meaning or paraphrasing) without acknowledgement. Copying from a classmate or from someone who completed the course before you. As part of the compulsory Academic Integrity Course (ACI) on Canvas, you will complete the STADIO Plagiarism Pledge. Subsequently, you cannot plead ignorance; by completing the pledge, you undertake to uphold the values of honesty and integrity throughout your studies at STADIO. This means that you have read and understood the nature of plagiarism and that your work at STADIO will not contain any plagiarised content. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 6 It does not matter how much of the other person’s or institution’s work you use (whether it is one sentence or a whole section), or whether you do it unintentionally or on purpose. If you present the work as your own without acknowledging that person/institution, you are committing plagiarism — an act tantamount to theft. You are taking someone else’s work and passing it off as your own. Because of this, plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence and carries heavy penalties. STADIO owns the copyright on all its academic material. This means that whoever wishes to use STADIO material for assignments may do so, as long as they have properly referenced the material used. This is true even if parts of the material are used in the answer to an assessment question. Failure to do this is seen as plagiarism and the student may either lose marks for the sections(s) copied or face disciplinary action. 2.2 AVOIDING PLAGIARISM To avoid plagiarism: Use quotation marks for everything that comes directly from the text (please do not exceed 175 words in total for the entire quote when you quote). Paraphrase, but be sure you are not just re-arranging or replacing a few words. Instead, read over what you want to paraphrase carefully, cover up the text with your hand, or close the text so you cannot see any of it. Write out the idea in your own words without peeping and cite the source you have used in brackets after you have completed the idea. Check your paraphrasing against the original text to be sure you have not accidentally used the same phrases or words, and that the information is accurate (see also section 4.4). Use your own words, whether you have worked in a group or not. Never use a colleague/friend/family member’s assignment and merely paraphrase a number of words. It is never acceptable for students to share one electronic copy of the answers and to make minor changes before hand-in. Also, never share your assignment with anyone prior to the hand-in date. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 7 3. 3.1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) At STADIO we promote the ethical and responsible use of AI. It is your responsibility to check the specific AI requirements and conditions for every assessment question. Consult the STADIO AI Traffic Light Matrix (AIMat) to make sure whether a question is red (you may not use AI), amber (you may use AI), or green (you must use AI). Because of the rapid developments in Generative AI, the citation format may change. Make sure to check that you are familiar with the latest update. Here are some ways you could use generative AI in your studies (Open University, 2024): To help improve your writing skills, for example, by correcting spelling/grammar mistakes. Tools such as Microsoft Word grammar checker and Grammarly already do this and can be more appropriate for assessed work. To revise your own knowledge on a topic. This could be by asking it to summarise key information on a topic. To support critical thinking skills; for example, you could ask it to challenge your key points to help you identify potential gaps and strengthen your arguments. To develop understanding of complex concepts or apply discipline knowledge in new contexts. To generate initial ideas; for example, if you’re struggling with writer’s block, it can be used to draft ideas, plans, or structures that you can adapt based on your own understanding of the topic. To generate images, diagrams, infographics, tables, video and other visual representations. To transcribe audio to text and other formats. To create the structure, format or templates for your work. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 8 Remember that you will need to critically evaluate any information generated by such tools, as Generative AI has no understanding of the accuracy of the information it generates and so can provide incorrect or false information. When referencing information produced by Generative AI tools, it’s essential to acknowledge the source correctly. Because any content generated by AI cannot be recovered by the reader, it should be cited as personal communication. In addition, provide context for the reader by briefly explaining the prompt. You may be asked to include the Generative AI output in an addendum or appendix. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 9 4. Copyright The content in STADIO study guides and teaching documents is not intended to be sold for commercial purposes. Such content is in essence part of tuition and constitutes an integral part of the learning experience. 4.1 COPYRIGHT/PLAGIARISM When authors/students/academics submit work1, the same copyright/ plagiarism rules apply. No amount of any type of content should be used without reference, in a way that is in line with accepted rules for academic work and as referred to in authoring contracts. The following are guidelines: a) A direct quote from another author’s work may not exceed 175 words for the total quote, should be in quotation marks and should be referenced properly. b) No amount of plain text may be copied from another publication other than for referenced quotes as mentioned above. c) Authors can represent a diagram from another author with a reference. Such a diagram should form an integral part of the academic argument provided to the students. If such a diagram is changed in any way for the purposes of representation, the original author should be acknowledged and referenced. d) Any presentation of photos and artwork can only be done with the permission of the photographer or the original artist. School of Fashion students may use images for assessments, provided they reference the author accordingly. e) As part of learning activities, links can be provided to free video clips in the public domain to follow and watch as further enrichment, and as part of exploration beyond the basic learning content. 1 When we say ‘work’, it could refer to anyone's ideas such as words, images, audio, videos, designs textbooks, Internet web pages, newspapers, magazines, photographs, illustrations, diagrams and many more. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 10 f) As part of activities, links can also be provided for the above purpose to external websites for further enrichment and as part of exploration beyond the basic learning content. However, content of such websites is protected by the same rules as for printed text and may not be used without a reference and/or permission. g) Practices such as in-linking or deep-linking (linking into a particular website towards a specific target, or links that import images and other pieces of content directly) are not allowed. 4.2 DETECTION OF PLAGIARISM AND BREACH OF COPYRIGHT All STADIO teaching materials and academic content are scanned by an approved and appropriate similarity detection programme such as Turnitin. These programmes are widely used to alert researchers, students, and institutions such as STADIO to problems in texts related to plagiarism and copyright. Texts found to contain problems will be referred back to authors and the necessary steps will be taken. Authors are reminded of their contractual responsibilities in terms of submitting original work, and the obligation to reference, acknowledge, and respect the work of other authors. It is a contractual responsibility of an author to follow accepted copyright rules and not to commit plagiarism. There are four forms of plagiarism: 1. When the work submitted or presented has been done by someone other than the person submitting the work. 2. When the whole work, such as an essay, is copied from some other source. 3. When parts of the work are taken from another source and no reference is made to the original author. 4. When a student submits or presents work in one course which has also been submitted in another course and has not sought approval from the course coordinator to do so. In summary, plagiarism refers to any or all the following: Stealing and passing off the ideas or words of another as one's own. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 11 Using another's production (written or media) without crediting the source. Committing literary theft (stealing the writing of someone else and presenting it as your own). Presenting an idea or product as new and original while deriving it from an existing source. Turning in someone else's work as your own. Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit. Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks. Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation. Providing a false (non-existent) source. Changing words, but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit (not properly paraphrasing). Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 12 5. 5.1 The STADIO referencing system WHEN TO USE REFERENCES You must provide a reference whenever you quote, paraphrase, or summarise someone else’s ideas, models, theories, or data. You must also reference any graphic information (such as graphs, pictographs, tables, illustrations, etc.) that you use. Some of the sources you will need to reference include the following: Books or chapters in books. Journal or newspaper articles. Conference papers. Films or television programmes. Personal communications, such as emails, letters, interviews, or answers generated from your interactions with AI tools. Electronic sources, such as web pages, journal articles from online databases, or electronic discussion forums, etc. Kotze (2009) points out that references should be used whenever you: quote the exact words of another author. refer to, paraphrase, or summarise someone else’s ideas, theories, arguments, and/or research in your own words. present another author’s interpretation, point of view, opinion, or understanding about an issue in your own words. state specific factual information, such as statistics, graphs, facts, verbal interviews. present diary entries that you have obtained from someone/somewhere else. present a table, graph, figure, or diagram taken or adapted from another source. construct a table, graph, figure, or diagram from data or information taken from another source (i.e. a source other than data that you have collected yourself) or produced with AI tools. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 13 5.2 WHICH REFERENCING SYSTEM SHOULD YOU USE? There are different referencing systems used in academic writing. STADIO uses an adapted version of the author–date system, commonly known as the Harvard Referencing System. This adaptation is called the STADIO Referencing System. The author–date referencing system comprises two parts, namely: 1. The author and the date are referred to in the text or main body of your writing (called embedded or in-text referencing). 2. All the resources referred to in the body of writing are included in the Reference List at the end of the text/assignment. All information is included in this list: author, date, title of publication, publisher, and where it was published. The other features of author–date referencing include: a specific order in which the information should be structured. the in-text reference, which should be placed (cited) in such a way that it causes minimal disruption to the flow of your writing. This usually means that the in-text referencing will appear at the very end or the very beginning of your sentences (see Ways of citing below). When you cite sources of information in the text, regardless of whether you quote, copy, paraphrase, or summarise, you should include: the author’s surname (family name). the year of publication (latest edition). page numbers, when directly quoting or closely paraphrasing an author’s words/material. correct punctuation and spacing. You are therefore advised to adhere strictly to the referencing conventions as explained in this guide. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 14 5.3 METHODS OF ‘IN-TEXT REFERENCING’ OR CITATION The STADIO Referencing System acknowledges the following methods of citing references, namely: author-prominent citations information-prominent citations image referencing (caption method) image referencing (thumbnail method) referencing edited or original images or photographs. Author-prominent citation This approach/style gives prominence to the author by using the author’s surname (family name) with the date, followed by a colon and the page number in parentheses (round brackets). Examples Direct quote: Govender (1999:31) argues that “school teachers in South Africa confuse the term technology as being solely concerned with computers, machines and gadgets”. “Design is notoriously complex to define...It improves existing conditions in various levels of society” (Aspelund, 2010:22). Design is important because “[i]t improves existing conditions” (Aspelund, 2010:22). Design has the potential to fix problematic conditions in “various levels of society” (Aspelund, 2010:22). Paraphrase (see also section 4.4): Govender (1999) suggests that South African schoolteachers have an illconceived perception that technology refers mainly to machines and gadgets. According to Aspelund (2010:22), designing can improve existing conditions. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 15 Note If the author is an “institution, organisation, or non-human”, the in-text reference should be at the end of the sentence or quotation, for example: “Technology education is a largely unexplored concept in South Africa” (UN Report, 2007:29), and not According to the UN Report (2007:29), “Technology education is a largely unexplored concept in South Africa”. Information-prominent citation This method of citing references gives prominence to the information, with all the required referencing details in parentheses at the end of the citation. Examples Direct quote: It has been argued that “school teachers in South Africa confuse the term technology as being solely concerned with machines and gadgets” (Govender, 1999:31). Paraphrase (see also section 4.4): South African schoolteachers have an ill-conceived perception that technology refers mainly to machines and gadgets (Govender, 1999:31). Image referencing (caption method) STADIO School of Fashion uses the caption method for modules, including marketing, consumer behaviour, retail management, entrepreneurship and business, for theory assessments such as: reports analyses rationales. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 16 Caption method requires: Caption underneath the image providing a figure number, in-text citation (same as in-text referencing rules). Location, if available. Matching reference entry in a separate image reference list at the end of your assessment. Remember to provide all necessary information. Example The image to the left was sourced from cosmopolitan.com. Although Emma Baty wrote the article, this image has been used with permission (and payment) from a photographer. On the website, a caption underneath the image credits the photographer, Dan MacMedan. The photographer is therefore the author of the image, not Emma Baty. Figure 1: MacMedan, 2019. Miley Cyrus at the Grammy Awards ceremony, Getty images. Los Angeles. In a separate image reference list at the end of the assessment: MacMedan, D. 2019. Miley Cyrus at the Grammy Awards ceremony, Getty images. [Online image] https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a30657741/where-ismiley-cyrus-grammys/ [Accessed: 24.01.2020] Image referencing (thumbnail method) Used for practical or visually-oriented modules, including creative design, visual merchandising, trend analysis, and computer literacy, for practical assessments such as: mood, trend, or design boards presentations visual analysis. In practical assessments, you must compile a visually appealing presentation filled with images for various purposes, such as a PowerPoint, mood board, or look board presentation. In this case, adding many captions would look ugly and distract the viewer from the purpose of the board — to present visual information. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 17 The thumbnail method requires you to compile a separate visual reference list using a smaller ‘thumbnail’ version of the image next to the reference list entry. This allows your marker to verify image sources without the use of captions. In a separate image reference list at the end of the assessment: MacMedan, D. 2019.

Otherwise, your marker may think that the image is missing a reference and thus indicate plagiarism. Caption method: Caption template — Figure number [image format] by author (year).

Reference list entry: Author. Date. Title/Description. Location. Image Reference List: Photograph by author. 2021. Green Johannesburg. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 19 leaf pattern. Note If a source has three or more authors, the surnames of all the authors must be listed in the first in-text reference to the specific source. Thereafter, only the surname of the first author is shown in all in-text references. The surnames of the second and later authors are replaced with the abbreviation et al. Since et al. is an abbreviation for the Latin words et alii, it must always be typed in italics with a full stop at the end. This principle applies to all source types, for example: First time in use: Govender, Mhkize and Whithall (2009) argue that… Thereafter in the document: Govender et al. (2009) dispute the fact that… If a source has multiple (two or more) authors, the ampersand sign (&) may be used in place of the word ‘and’ where authors are listed in in-text citations that appear in brackets, as well as in the list of references. However, the ampersand sign (&) may not be used when the authors are listed as part of a normal sentence. Examples: Geczy and Karaminas (2017:9) state that Westwood’s influence on design broke down the historically strong relationship between fashion and wealth. VS Westwood’s influence on design broke down the historically strong relationship between fashion and wealth (Geczy & Karaminas, 2017:9). 5.4 PARAPHRASING Paraphrasing means to restate something you have read, accurately and succinctly, in your own words. If your work does not refer to specific ideas on particular pages of a resource, but to general themes mentioned throughout the resource, page numbers need not be shown. Example General theme Meta analytical studies (Rob, 2009) reveal that South Africa cannot be classified as a developed country. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 20 Example Specific idea Rob (2009:28) claims that the economic structure of South Africa does not entitle it to be classified as a developed country for now. When to paraphrase or use quotations It is preferable that you paraphrase (put ideas in your own words), as too many quotations (using the exact words) can lead to a poorly written assignment. A general rule in academic practice is that no more than 10% of an assignment should be in the form of direct quotations. No matter whether you use quotations or paraphrase another’s words, you always need to give references, both in the text and in the reference list. 5.5 QUOTATIONS Quotations should be used sparingly, selected carefully, used in context, integrated into your text and reproduced exactly (including the words, spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, and paragraphing of the original writer). The original author’s exact words, including any spelling or grammatical errors, should be quoted. Kotze (2009:6) advises us that if the original wording contains spelling or grammatical errors, one has to point these errors out by placing the word [sic] in square brackets in the quote directly after the error. The word [sic] (meaning so or thus) can be inserted in a quotation when the original text is incorrect with regard to grammar, spelling or gender. Example According to Aswy (2006:21), the DCLD is a “centre of excellence at Unisa and this con [sic] be attributed to the dedication of the education consultants employed at the DCLD”. (NB: the word ‘con’ is misspelt; [sic] has been added to denote this.) © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 21 Babes (2005:21) argues that “when human beings interact with animals, he [sic] should be aware of their sensitivity to rough play”. (‘He’ is not gender sensitive, and therefore, the author should have stated [they].) Short quotations Short quotations (fewer than 30 words) should: be incorporated into your sentence without disrupting the flow of your paragraph. have double quotation marks. maintain the same font size. Incorporating a quote as part of your sentence — information-prominent The reference comes AFTER the quotation, UNLESS you referred to the author before the quote: The church is not the only setting where the soul may be nurtured, as “[t]he soul also finds sustenance in more domestic settings, like the family home where customs and values have created a spirit handed down over generations” (Jonas 1998:9). Incorporating a quote as part of your sentence — author-prominent The church is not the only setting where the soul may be nurtured. As Jonas (1998:9) suggests, “[t]he soul also finds sustenance in more domestic settings, like the family home where customs and values have created a spirit handed down over generations”. The square brackets around the ‘t’ – [t] – are used to indicate that in the original quotation, the word ‘the’ began with a capital ‘T’. Long quotations Long quotations (more than 30 words) should: be introduced in your own words. begin on a new line. be fully indented by default (i.e. 1.27 cm) from both margins. be in reduced line spacing compared to the rest of the text. use a smaller font for the quotation (that is, change from size 10.5 to size 10). © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 22 Separate the quotation from the lead-in statement with one blank line. The lead-in statement ends with a colon (:). Separate the quotation from the text that follows it with one blank line. This is illustrated below. Example Friere (1998:3) summarises the effects of reducing literacy to a set of tools or skills when he states that: [m]erely teaching men [sic] to read and write does not work miracles: if there are not enough jobs for men [sic] able to work, teaching more men [sic] to read and write will not create them. When literacy is considered as a social practice, the relationships that exist between language use and the production and maintenance of cultural and ideological hegemony are uncovered. Quotation marks are not used for longer quotations. When using an information-prominent long quotation, the full stop will be included after the last sentence of the quotation before the citation, as shown below. Example The church is not the only setting where the soul may be nurtured as: [t]he soul also finds sustenance in more domestic settings, like the family home, where customs and values have created a spirit handed down over generations. According to Thomas Moore, the soul finds sacredness in the ordinary, and may benefit most when its spiritual life is performed in the context of mundane daily life (Jones, 1998:89). Words omitted from quotations To omit words from quotations, use an ellipsis. An ellipsis consists of three full stops (…). Do not leave any spaces before the ellipsis or after the ellipsis. If you contemplate omitting parts of the quotation, make certain that the omission(s) do not alter the meaning of the sentence/quotation. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 23 Example Wells (1991:7) describes literacy as a “set of practices which people use in literacy events…and that literacy practices are situated in social relations”. Hint: if the quotation does not begin at the start of a sentence, an ellipsis should be used to convey this to the reader. Example Students may adopt a more dominant understanding of literacy because of the emphasis they place on literacy as a means of achieving “…equality of opportunity and the possibilities of liberty and democracy” (Rock, 1994:213). Double quotations For a double quotation, i.e. a quotation within a quotation, use single quotation marks inside double quotation marks. Example “The first words of Melville’s Moby Dick are ‘Call me Ishmael’ and these words are full of significance” was the first statement in Smith’s memorable speech (Johns, 1995:43). The square brackets in quotations Sometimes in quotations, it is necessary to insert a word that explains the meaning of another word in that quotation. Place the explanation in square brackets. Example “The curriculum of the national schools in the 1870s included reading, writing, arithmetic, drill [physical exercises] and music” (Cavey, 1996:21). © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 24 5.6 WHEN NO DATE IS INDICATED FOR THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION You may come across some information sources where no date/year of publication is given. If no year is given for a source, use n.d. (which stands for ‘not dated’) after the author's name. In-text referencing example: in a detailed analysis, Jackie (n.d.) argues… Reference list example: Jackie, C. Not dated. The year that was. New York: Caxton. Hint: this rule should be followed for all sources of information (i.e. you should indicate ‘Not dated’ in the reference list for the year of publication). 5.7 PLACE OF PUBLICATION IS UNKNOWN In place of publication, simply state ‘Not known’: Example Dick, K. 2001. The ride to hell. Not known: Caxton. 5.8 PUBLISHER IS UNKNOWN When the publisher is unknown, simply state ‘Not known’: Example Dick, K. 2001. The ride to hell.

Page © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 25 numbers should also be provided for indirect quotes and paraphrasing where the summarised material appears on specific pages, in specific chapters, or in specific sections.

Kotze (2009:33) states that “If an original document (except a web page) does not have page numbers, one should still indicate to the reader on what page the information can be found”. He advises that this could be done by counting the pages from the front and then including that number in an in-text reference, indicating that the original pages were not numbered by placing the page count in square brackets.

The references contained in the list should: be in single line spacing. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 26 use a line spacing of 1.5 pt after each reference. be left aligned. be arranged alphabetically. be the final page of your assignment. (Appendices/annexures are placed after the reference list.) The reference list should contain all the sources cited in the paper and no sources that are not cited. A source is listed only once in the reference list, regardless of how many times it is cited in-text. 5.11 WEBSITES AS SOURCES OF INFORMATION Evaluating websites for educational use Always be vigilant when extracting information from any electronic source. The standard of reliability and validity for information on websites is often not as high as for articles in published materials. Anyone can place information on the internet, often without any review process. Facts and figures on websites are sometimes misleading and therefore every effort should be made to choose websites very carefully. Reliable sources generally include: referenced articles in online journals. articles from databases selected by the university. articles published by universities. reports and white papers published by government departments, business organisations and reputable lobby groups. Consider the following: The purpose of the website (to inform, to persuade, to sell). If you know the motive behind the web page, you can make an informed decision about whether it is suitable for your assessment. Is there an author/sponsor? If you cannot find an author or an organisation responsible for publishing the site, then it is most likely unreliable. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 27 Is the author qualified to write about this topic? What is the author’s expertise? Is the sponsor reputable? Are opinions being presented as facts? Try to differentiate fact from fiction. Authenticity is not always easy to confirm, so test one source against another. Make sure there is no bias evident. Ascertain whether the person presenting the information has a vested interest in proposing the particular viewpoint. Are references or bibliographies included? How current is the information? When was the website last updated? Is the information well written and free of grammatical errors? Note To save your information, print the material you are referring to, save it on a memory stick or in the cloud so that you have a permanent record. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 28 6.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) 7.1 GENERAL Q. How do I cite and reference sources in languages other than English? A. Use the language of the information source. Q. Which letters should I capitalise? A. Capitalise: the first letter of each author's surname and each initial. the first letter of the publication title written in italics. all the first letters of the main words in the title of a journal, newspaper. Q. all the first letters of a place name. all the first letters of a publisher. What if there is no example in this guide for the source that I am using? A. Begin by applying the guidelines for books and then exchange or add in guidelines from other types of information sources in order to build the entry. You will also find ample examples on the Internet, but remember to adapt them to the style and format used in the guide. 7.2 DATES Q. Where do I find the date of a work? A. Finding a publication date is not always easy. In books, it would be with the other publication information on the title page or verso page. The publication date of printed journals and newspapers is on the cover or, in the case of periodicals, the spine and back page or around the table of contents. © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 63 In the case of websites and blog posts, the publication date can be somewhere around the title or in the footer of the page. Q. What if a book has more than one date? A. Use the latest publication (edition) date for citation purposes. Be sure not to take the latest reprint date, which may be more recent. A reprint is not a new edition; a reprint simply means that more books of that edition were printed at a later date. Q. What if the date is in Roman letters? A. Convert the letters to numbers (Arabic numerals), e.g. MCMLXXXV = 1985. Q. What if there is no date? A. Use the abbreviation n.d. (which stands for "not dated") in the second position. 7.3 CITATIONS Q. How do I cite two sources written by the same author in the same year? A. Add lower case letters after the date. (Molefe, 2001a:23; Molefe, 2001b:104) Q. How do I cite a number of different sources to support the same point? A. Cite them in alphabetical order and separate the different citations with a semicolon. (Epstein et al., 2012:278; Hudson & Nurius, 1994:103; Rosen, 1996:324) © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 64 7.4 REFERENCE LIST Q. What if I have more than one work by the same author; how do I list them in the reference list? A. List them in the order of the date, starting with the earliest first. Molefe, T. 2001a. … Molefe, T. 2001b. … Molefe, T. 2004. … Q. Which place of publication should I include in the reference if a book lists more than one place? A. Include only the first place name listed in the book. Q. Which publisher should I include in my reference if a book lists multiple publishers? A. Include only the first publisher listed. Q. Do I have to include the publisher’s name in full? A. Provide the name of the publisher in the shortest possible form that will be recognised internationally, e.g. "Sage" and not "Sage Publications", and "Van Schaik" and not "JL van Schaik". Q. Some Harvard referencing style manuals use the words "Available at" or "Available from" before the URL of an electronic publication. What is the correct way? A. It used to be the preferred way but lately most style manuals omit those words since the URL sufficiently indicates the location of the source. The STADIO style does not require this phrase. Q. Some online journal articles and webpages have very long URLs. A. Very long URLs may be shortened to the first forward slash /. Q. Why do I have to include the date when I access a website? © STADIO (Pty) Ltd. – STADIO Referencing Guide 2024 65 A. Website pages appear and disappear so often that it is vital to indicate that the information was accurate at the date given. Q. Which do I choose: the website URL or the DOI? A. The DOI (digital object identifier) is a unique identifier that is assigned to some website pages. When it is present, use it instead of the website URL and date accessed. Q. Can I use software to manage the reference list? A. You can make use of reference managers, of which some are freely available on the Internet, Cite i.e. http://www.citethisforme.com/ https://www.mendeley.com/search/. This or However, For Me Mendeley you may at at find it necessary to adapt the references created by a reference manager to the style and format of this guide. Q. If a source has more than one format, for example, a printed and an online format, which information do I use in the reference list? A. Only use the information of the format that you have used in your research. If you have used a printed format, use that information in the reference list. Q. When do I use pp. and when do I only show the page number range? A. When there is information about the series, volume and/or issue number, the page or page range numbers follow immediately after a colon (:). Vance, C. & Larson, E. 2002.

Examples s for section (plural ss); ff for and further; para for paragraph (plural paras); 2ed for second edition; AJ for Acting Judge; J for Judge; JA for Judge of Appeal; JP for Judge President, AJA for Acting Judge of Appeal; CJ for Chief Justice; reg for regulation; ch for chapter; and cf for compare. QUOTATIONS Quotations correspond exactly with the original, that is, with italicisation, capital letters, full stops, etcetera, unchanged.
