Today we will:
Learning intention: Students will gain an understanding of how to reference correctly using an online referencing tool. Students will learn the components required to successfully construct an annotated bibliography for S&C PIPS.

Success Criteria: Students will practice referencing a selection of physical and electronic information sources using an online referencing tool. Students will then provide annotations for each source by summarising and critiquing them.
How to avoid Plagiarising

Why Reference?

NESA HSC Rules and Procedures Guide
2.1 Maintaining honesty and integrity
All HSC candidates, their teachers and others who guide them must comply with our Honesty in Assessment Standard to maintain the integrity of the HSC. You must be entirely honest when completing all your assessment tasks, exams and submitted works. You will be marked only on the quality and originality of the work you have produced.

Always acknowledge your sources
You must acknowledge any part of your work that was written, created or developed by someone other than you. This includes any material from other sources like books, journals, electronic resources and the internet. You don’t need to formally acknowledge material that you learned from your teacher in class

2.2 Understanding malpractice
Cheating of any kind is unacceptable. Any form of malpractice, including plagiarism, is unacceptable, and treated very seriously. Detected malpractice will limit your marks & jeopardise your HSC. 
Malpractice includes:
- copying part or all of someone else’s work and presenting it as your own
- using material directly from books, journals, CDs or the internet without giving its source
- building on someone else’s ideas without giving their source
- buying, stealing or borrowing someone else’s work and presenting it as your own
- submitting work that someone else, like a parent, tutor or subject expert, substantially contributed to
- using someone else’s words, ideas, designs or work without crediting them
- paying someone to write or prepare material
- giving false reasons for not handing in work by the due date

You might need to prove your work
If you are suspected of malpractice, you will need to show that all unacknowledged work is entirely your own. You might need to:
- prove and explain your work process with diaries, journals, notes, working plans, sketches or progressive drafts that show how your ideas developed
- answer questions about the assessment task, exam or submitted work being investigated to show your knowledge, understanding and skills.

Plagiarism
Students can plagiarise unintentionally. This can happen when they are unaware of what plagiarism is or don't know or understand that they are plagiarising. These students may have:
  • misunderstood about plagiarism
  • failed to include reference details when making notes
  • left out the reference in their assignment by mistake
  • incorrectly referenced the material
  • really believed that the work produced was original (NESA 2019)
Referencing your PIP
Which referencing method is preferred for PIPS?
The syllabus does not prescribe a referencing system for your Resource List but does recommend using a consistent and correctly formatted referencing system throughout the PIP. The Harvard (in-text citations) or Oxford (footnoting) methods are recommended as they are widely used and taught to students doing the PIP (NESA 2019).
 

What should be included in the Resource List?
All resources used in the PIP.
These include all secondary research sources such as books, articles and websites, and all resources used for the primary research, including interviews and focus groups. An acknowledgement of how each of your sources and resources assisted in your research, needs to be included in your Annotated Resource List. 
For each individual source/resource you should comment on their usefulness, reliability, bias and validity
.
The sources/resources in your Resource List should be organised by type and sub-type.
For example: Primary resources: interviews, questionnaire, focus groups
Secondary resources: newspaper articles, websites, journals
(NESA 2019).


The references should be accurate and include publication/production details.
For each internet site, the URL and the most recent date the site was visited should be included, along with a short annotation on its usefulness to the PIP
(NESA 2017). 


Note: Usually Bibliographies/Resource Lists/Reference Lists are arranged alphabetically by surname of the author under each type and sub-type.

Harvard Referencing - The Basics

Harvard Referencing: the basics from Victoria University Library on Vimeo.

Annotated Bibliographies
​An annotation is additional information that is written about each of the resources accessed and used in the research. Annotations should be insightful and are more than a description about the source - they are a critique, a judgment or evaluation of how important the resource is and how reliable the information is.

What is an Annotated Bibliography? from Kimbel Library on Vimeo.

Writing an annotation
It is essential to select and critique a wide range of secondary sources to provide depth and breadth to your PIP topic. Start with writing and arranging the bibliographic entries just as you would any other bibliography. The annotation then follows immediately after the bibliographic information, on the next line.  The content of each of your entries may include the following:

1. Summary
A summary of a source, that is condensing the author’s message into a single paragraph describing the main points of an argument, major methods of investigation, and its main conclusions - but omitting detail. In general, a summary does not contain critical analysis of the arguments or your opinion of the source.

2. Analysis and Assessment
Following the summary, your annotation should include an evaluation of each source. This evaluation may include answering questions, such as:
• is the author’s argument valid and reliable and how do you know this?
• is there evidence of bias, subjectivity, objectivity and how do you know this?

3. Reflection
In addition to objectively summarising and assessing the source, you should also reflect on its usefulness to your research and your topic. In particular, consider:
• How relevant is the content to your research?
• Has the argument impacted on your previously held views? How?
• What specifically does it add to your knowledge?
• How will you be using the source in your own work? 
(Johnson 2014, Lee 2013)
