Referencing

"Researchers do not claim the words and ideas of another as their own; they give credit where credit is due". (APA Ethics Code Standard 8.11, Plagiarism).

... basic ethical and legal principles underlie all scholarly research and writing. These long-standing principles are designed to achieve three goals:

• to ensure the accuracy of scientific knowledge,
• to protect the rights and welfare of research participants, and
• to protect intellectual property rights."
                                                           (Publication manual of the American Psychological Association, 2010).

Please note that different schools at RU may require students to use different reference styles. Students are therefore advised to familiarize themselves with their schools requirements in this regard.
