• Course material should not be referenced, unless it contains original material.
Instead, you should go to the original source of the research on which the lecture was based, then cite the original work.
• Use (n.d.) if no date given on course materials.
• Add material description after title e.g. [PowerPoint slides], [Lecture notes].
• Do not include publisher details for course materials.
• Do not include Retrieved from … details for course materials.
• Use the name of the site and URL of homepage/login page URL for sites requiring login e.g. for Murdoch University's LMS Moodle. https://moodleprod.murdoch.edu.au
• Include full URL for materials access from the Internet and accessible by public.
• Assignments from another unit
• You must provide appropriate references when referring to your own work. For students, this applies if you quote or paraphrase any work you have submitted for an assessment in another unit.
• This is necessary as all assignments include the following Student Declaration:
Except where indicated, the work I am submitting in this assignment is my own work and has not been submitted for assessment in another unit.
• This includes text, figures or tables copied from a completed assessment in a different Unit without proper acknowledgement of the original source (even if you are the original author).
• Readers/Study Guides
• If an article is reproduced in a Unit reader with full original pagination and bibliographic details, you may cite it as you would the original material and cite the original page numbers.
• Do not cite from Unit readers, study guides, or lecture notes if the original material is not reproduced in full with full bibliographic details; you should go to the original source of the information.
• If you do need to cite articles from a Unit reader without the full original pagination and bibliographic details, treat the reader articles as if they were book chapters or journal articles. In your citations refer to the page numbers from the reader, not to the original page numbers.
