Referencing a thesis in your work

It is important to correctly reference any part of a thesis that you have used in your research.

Referencing is an essential part of university writing and academic integrity.  Using any work, data or ideas of someone without correct referencing will put you at risk of a serious academic misconduct also know as plagiarism.

To reference properly you must follow the referencing style required by your discipline and include all the elements of a reference required for each source.

The Library has created a range of referencing guides that provide examples of how to correctly reference a thesis using your particular referencing style.
