how to use and cite literature effectively

10 ā€“ How to use and cite literature effectively 10 How to use and cite literature effectivel y The Water, Engineering and Development Centre is one of the worldā€™s leading education and research institutes for developing knowledge and capacity in water and sanitation for sustainable development and emergency relief. We focus on solutions for people in low- and middle-income countries, helping to provide evidence-based answers to important questions ā€“ not only about what needs to be done to improve basic infrastructure and essential services ā€“ but also how to go about it. Founded in 1971, WEDC is based in the School of Civil and Building Engineering at Loughborough University, one of the top UK universities. This provides a sound basis for scrutiny of all we do: WEDC is regulated, and being part of a leading University gives us a recognised platform of independence and quality. What makes us stand out from the crowd is our outreach to practitioners ā€“ using our knowledge base and our applied research work to develop the capacity of individuals and organizations throughout the world, promoting the integration of social, technical, economic, institutional and environmental activities as a prerequisite for development.

As children, much of this information is accepted without question, but as learning progresses to a higher level, as it does when studying towards a university degree, students are expected to critically appraise what they are learning, judging the evidence and questioning what is presented. Being able to locate, organize and compare different sources of information is a core skill required of students and graduates. The consequences of not referencing other peopleā€™s work correctly can be serious and this misconduct is becoming easier to detect. This booklet presents an overview of why the use of other peopleā€™s work is encouraged at university, but only within certain conditions and subject to particular standards and conventions. It discusses ways to make a good reference and introduces methods of citing work correctly.
