Acknowledging sources

Documentation –General principles

Whenever you include data (words, images, and videos), in your own task from somewhere else you
must state where this data comes from. To quote your sources, this is known as referencing. If you don't
say where data comes from, it's the same as pretending you didn't get this data from another source
and generating it on your own. Whether you're doing it intentionally or not, if you're not saying where
your information comes from, this is a form of cheating, called plagiarism.

Citing and referencing –General principles

When you include details of where your data comes from in in the text of your assignment, this is called
in-text referencing and is Criterion D's expectation. You must quote all sources that you use within the
body of your assignment and then provide complete information of these sources at the end of your
task in a reference chapter. You'll have to do this for all your chemistry tasks.
