Cite Them Right: The Essential Referencing Guide (Macmillan Study Skills)

One of the best books available for students on reference management. The up-to-date coverage includes citing material such as social media, art works and lecture notes that are often not covered by similar works. The concise and clear layout of the book makes it very easy to locate referencing guidelines for almost any given type of material and each type of reference is illustrated with clear examples of both the appropriate in-text citation and the bibliography entry. Common referencing styles are covered such as Harvard, APA, MLA, Vancouver and Chicago (amongst others).There are also nice additional touches such as a discussion on avoiding plagiarism and the reasons for referencing and a glossary which explains terms such as 'op. cit.', 'ibid.' and 'sic.' which I have certainly found can confuse some students. This book is highly suitable for undergraduate students, but A-level and also graduate students who struggle with referencing would benefit. My one gripe with the text is that it barely mentions the use of Reference Management Software (such as RefWorks, EndNote, Mendeley etc.) to help with referencing. An additional paragraph or two to note the benefits and pitfalls of using this kind of software in a future edition would be good.

I am very happy with this product this book is very informative and very useful for me especially for my university studies which are ongoing and that in my opinion is very useful and I needed this book to help me with my studies as it plays a important part for me to achieve my goals in terms of my education

Good book.

Really helpful, includes more than one referencing type too so you can have a look at others if you need them. Also it's split into little categories so you can find the kind of referencing that you need at that point in time. Would recommend to any student in need.

I'm currently in my first year of a degree with The Open University and referencing is all new to me. I've read a few of the online guides for referencing but they weren't sinking in. This book is easy to read, easy to understand and covers most types of referencing which is handy as different uni's, even different modules and courses specify using different types. Great book and useful to most students who need to reference

Very satisfied, i received in very good condition, like new. Thanks

This book is a life saver! I have been using it for my second year of university and I have been having top marks for my citations and bibliography layout! I have been using the Harvard referencing system however this book shows many other styles. MUST HAVE!

I'm a 2nd year Adult nursing student and HATE assignments based on the referencing. I dont suddenly love it based on buying this book but It has made it wayyyyyy more easier to Harvard reference. It is set out simple, with examples in text and how to write in the reference book. Best book I've bought to support my assignments so far, wish I'd of bought this before I started the degree!!!

Essential reference for anyone on a course of academic study. A very comprehensive book for Harvard and other referencing systems.

Must-have for any serious researcher or graduate/postgraduate student. This book is vital if you need Harvard referencing guidance.

Works well for school submissions.
