It is important to always acknowledge the sources that you consulted when preparing your work. Failing to do this is seen as as plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of other people’s ideas as your own. All Literary works (e.g. books, journals, etc), artworks (drawings, paintings, etc.), and anything created by the mind is the owner’s intellectual property and needs to be acknowledged whenever it is used.
The Information Systems Department uses the American Psychological Association (APA) Method of referencing.
