Academic conventions and copyright law require that you acknowledge when you use the ideas of others, that is stating which book or journal article is the source of an idea or quotation. 

This online APA Referencing Guide prepared by  University of Southern Queensland, guide students on referencing sources used for their academic writing.  It illustrates examples of referencing numerous type of secondary sources and is a free online webpage available to anyone with internet.

 

Many students dread the inference and imposition of any writing format, (Anderson & Amy, 2010) and so this guide can be used by High school teachers to educate their students on referencing to help them recognize and understand intellectual property (IP) when using ICT and prepare them for higher education.
