Referencing

Please consult ‘Credit Where Credit is Due’ for the referencing system used by IT Carlow. Please ensure accuracy and consistency in your referencing. The following are the most common reference types that you will need when compiling the reference list at the end of your assignments.

 

Journal articles:

For example:

Seebohm, P., Gilchrist, A. and Morris, D. (2012) Bold but Balanced: How Community Development Contributes to Mental Health and Inclusion. Community Development Journal, 47 (4), pp. 473-490.

 

Books

For example:

Banks, S. (2012) Ethics and Values in Social Work. (4^th Ed.) Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.

 

Book Chapter

If a book is an edited collection with different contributors for each chapter, cite the author of the specific chapter you have used in your work. If you use more than one chapter, cite each author separately. Include the page numbers of the chapter in the bibliography.

 

For example:

Forde, C. (2009) The Politics of Community Development: Relationship with the State. In: Forde, C., Kiely, E. and Meade, R., eds. Youth and Community in Ireland: Critical Perspectives, Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, pp. 49-68.

 

Webpage

Unless the webpage has a specified individual author, you can treat the organisation as the author. If the year the webpage was created is available, you can give this. If not, simply state ‘no date available’. You must also include the date which you last accessed the webpage in brackets at the end of the reference.

 

For example:

Children’s Rights Alliance, (no date available) What Are Children’s Rights? Available: http://www.childrensrights.ie/childrens-rights-ireland/childrens-rights-ireland [accessed 01 September, 2013].

To avoid common referencing mistakes, please note the following:

 

Ø  In the reference list, place the title of the journal, not the specific journal article, in italics.

Ø  In the reference list, give a full reference for a webpage not just the url.

Ø  When referencing books in the reference list, the place of publication (e.g. Dublin) precedes the name of the publisher (e.g. Gill and Macmillan).

Ø  There is no need to bullet point or number your reference list.

Ø  When citing websites within the main body of your assignment, use the (author, date) formulation rather than the url; i.e. write (Children’s Rights Alliance, no date available) rather than inserting the web address.

When quoting directly from an original source within the main body of your assignment, give the page number(s). (Try to avoid excessive use of direct quotation.
