Citation required in text:
The potential of citation to validity an essay is great. It is very important to refer to someone’s work to authenticate a statement. Whenever a journal or paper is used to collect information and in text citation is given to validity the whole information and to state that the given information is genuine and authenticate. In the intext, generally the surname of the author and the year in which the journal is published is mentioned (Leary, 2013). It can be integrated in the sentence also however, it should be put in a bracket to show the in text information. A direct quote can also be used under the citation for the authenticity of the statement. Examples are Hartley (2005) and B.S Singh (2011).
It is the most evident way of praising and acknowledging author’s work and ideas. The copy system can be hugely negated using citations and in text. Harvard system is one of the simplest type of referencing system. In the academic portfolio, It is very important to mention others ideas and works in one’s own work to ensure that the work is not done by mere cheating. In the academic system, if proper intexting and referencing is not done properly then it will be shown as plagiarism, which is a serious offense in the academic environment (Aktar et al. 2014). Plagiarism does not mean to copy other’s statements and ideas without proper authentication. However, it also occurs when one reword another author statement claiming as one’s own work. In the Harvard referencing system, the student needs to mention different sources from which the information has been gathered. The sources include a range of books, journals electronic media to collect all sorts of information.
For example: Wild, J., Wild, K.L. and Han, J.C., 2014. International business. Pearson Education Limited. Gives a detailed information about the journal and the author from which the information has been collected in the light of the context (Beha et al. 2015).
According to Hartman, DesJardins, MacDonald and Hartman, 2014, proper referencing system enables the students to avoid plagiarism to a greater extent by offering authentic and real jornal evidence in their work.
