2 INTRODUCTION
There are several purposes for using correct referencing; to acknowledge the work of others; to
avoid plagiarism; to show that you have read relevant information about the topic; and to enable a
reader to find and read the source if they wish to.

APA is one of several styles of referencing (APA, Harvard, Chicago, MLA) and it is used through most
of the university. Your faculty may use another style. If so, the principles are the same, but the
formatting may be quite different. You will need to learn both styles. The letters APA stand for
American Psychological Society and that organization issues The Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association. The book has guidelines on document formatting (font size, font
style, spacing, margins and so on) and on spelling, structure of research papers, tables and citations.
This booklet will cover referencing.

3 GLOSSARY
Citation crediting a specific source used in research. The in-text citation gives a brief indication of
the source. The full details are generally given in a reference list at the end of the paper.

Bibliography A list of relevant sources. It is different to a Reference List because a bibliography can
list sources that you have not used in your paper while a Reference List includes only sources that
have been used in the paper.

DOI Digital Object identifier If you retrieved a document from a database, you must cite the
article DOI in the reference. You dont need to cite the database. Using this information, your
readers can find the article by entering the DOI into a DOI resolver (not by entering it into the
address bar like a URL). You can find DOI resolvers at DOI.org and crossref.org.

Ellipsis three spaced dots which are used to show that you have omitted something from a
quotation. Note that if you omit something, you must not change the meaning of the original text.

Hanging indent - first line of each reference is on the left margin, but the following lines are
indented by 1.25 cm creating a hanging indent.

Indirect quotation also called paraphrasing. Restating the authors words in your own words
while keeping the original meaning. To avoid plagiarism there must be significant changes to the
original work.

In-text referencing uses the authors name and the year a document was published. This shows
the reader where the material came from.

Reference List A list of all the sources you have paraphrased or quoted in your assignment. The
Reference List should be on a separate page. All the works are listed alphabetically by the authors
family name (or if there is no name, by the first word in the title). Documents that have been
consulted, but not quoted or paraphrased are not used in your list.

Secondary citation When you are doing your research you sometimes see a quotation in the
document you are reading. If you quote the original document, that becomes a secondary citation.
See page 20 for an example.

4 EXAMPLE OF IN-TEXT REFERENCING

There are no L1 or L2 studies examining the relationship between coverage and television
comprehension. However, research investigating the coverage necessary for reading and listening
comprehension may provide some indication of how much vocabulary is necessary for adequate
comprehension of television programs. L2 studies have differed in the amount of text coverage that is
needed for adequate comprehension to occur. Estimates are 95% for reasonable comprehension of a
text (Laufer, 1989), 98% for learners to read for pleasure (Hirsh & Nation, 1992), 98% for adequate
unassisted reading comprehension (Hu & Nation, 2000), and 98% for ideal coverage of written text
(Nation, 2006). Hu and Nation's (2000) research is the most comprehensive study of text coverage.
They examined L2 learners' comprehension of a relatively easy fiction text with differing amounts of
text coverage. The results indicated that at 90% text coverage, a small number of learners gain
adequate comprehension; at 95% text coverage, more learners gain adequate comprehension but they
are still a minority; and at 100% text coverage, most learners are able to understand the text. A
regression analysis indicated that 98% coverage was needed for adequate comprehension without use
of a dictionary or glossary. Hu and Nation also suggested that because the text in their study was
relatively easy to understand, learners may need greater coverage of texts from different genres such
as newspapers and academic texts. Hu and Nation's study is supported by L1 research that also found
text coverage of 9899% to be appropriate, with the difference in coverage dependent on the
difficulty of the text (Carver, 1994).

7 MORE EXAMPLES OF IN-TEXT REFERENCING


EXAMPLE ONE

Culture too, has many definitions. One of importance is from Hall (1977), who states, All countries
have their own identity, language, systems of nonverbal communication, material culture, history and
ways of doing things (p. 2). There is also another definition, which divides culture into two concepts
(Moran, 2001). The first is called the big C, which is the traditional, objective culture (for example,
food, theater, art, dance, or music). Then there is small c which is the called the subjective culture.
This has no existence except in human behavior. Small c culture is an abstraction produced by
thought and can define characteristics such as body movement, how we live, how we learn, how we
work, and how we express love, in response to similar events and experiences.

Intercultural Communication Studies XIX: 1 2010. Downloaded from
http://www.uri.edu/iaics/content/2010v19n1/15SusanMeiki.pdf

EXAMPLE TWO

In psychology, disagreement focuses on the empirical process and away from investigators as
individuals. Three common disagreement strategies were illustrated in the sample articles from
psychology. The generality of another's proposal may be challenged, as Tenpenny and Shoben
(1992) did in asserting, this [theoretical] distinction is not able to deal with an increasing number of
results (p. 25), or methodology may be questioned as illustrated by Hirshman and Durante (1992):
The primary criticism is that the threshold-setting procedures used in previous experiments are not
adequate to ensure that (p. 255); or the data of another investigator may be reinterpreted to
support a rival position. Myers's (1990) analysis of empirical biology articles found similar examples
of disagreement.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING

1. In the corresponding List of References, we would expect to see a listing for each of the
authors cited above.
2. Note the placement of the page number for a quotation. It comes at the end of the sentence
outside the quotation marks, but before the full stop.

8 PRINCIPLES
1. When do you need to use a citation? To answer that you need to ask the question; is it
common knowledge?

If it is common knowledge, dont use a citation. If it isnt common knowledge, use a citation.
If you arent sure, use a citation. So for example, if you read that the population of Brunei is
420,000 and you want to use that information, you must first ask, is it common knowledge.
In this case it is, so you dont need a citation. However, if you read that the population of
Brunei is 428, 362 and you use that number, that isnt common knowledge, so you do need a
citation. Here are some examples.

1. Pandas are black and white. (Common knowledge no citation)


2. There are only 1650 pandas left in the wild. (Not common knowledge use a
citation)
3. The currency of Europe is the Euro. (Common knowledge no citation)
4. One hundred Kazakhstan Tenge is equal to 72 Brunei sen. (Not common knowledge
use a citation).

2. The entries in the in-text citations must match the entries in the List of References. So, for
example, if the entry in the list of references is:

Carver, R. P. (1994). Percentage of unknown vocabulary words in text as a function


of the relative difficulty of the text: Implications for instruction. Journal
of Reading Behavior, 26, 413437.

Then the in-text citation must begin in exactly the same way (Carver) and then also include
the year.
(Carver, 1994)

3. If there is no author and you have to use the name of an article, then again the List of
References and the in-text must match:

Malaysia to cut fuel subsidies. (2014, November 22). The Brunei Times. Retrieved on
November 23, 2014 from: http://www.bt.com.bn/business-
asia/2014/11/22/malaysia-cut-fuel-subsidies

And the in-text will be

(Malaysia to cut fuel, 2014)


Note that usually we reduce the article title to the first three or four words and we put it in
quotation marks. Here is another example. An article written in 2014 with no author called
New training facility for welders soon would be shortened to
(New training facility, 2014)

4. If you have a document with no date such as a website, you use the letters n.d. instead of
the date. For example,

(Smith, n.d.)

DRAFT
5. If you are quoting, you cannot change anything. You must use quotation marks and you
must reproduce the words of the original author exactly. However, there are two exceptions
to this. One is for ellipsis and one for square brackets.

a. Ellipsis means three dots They are used when we have left out a word or words.
We do this when we dont need the whole quote and we want to leave out
something in the middle. That is okay, but we must not change the meaning.

The participants are also assessed on presentation (Zailani, 2014)


b. Square brackets. We use square brackets when we change or add a word. The usual
reason for doing this is to make the grammar match the rest of our sentence. Again
we must not change the meaning.

Currently the participants are also [being] assessed based on presentation (Zailani,
2014).
6. If you are uncertain about how to format something, google it. It is usually reasonably easy
to find the information you are looking for. However, if you are really stuck, then you need
to give it your best attempt. This is the advice from the APA website.

In general, a reference should contain the author name, date of publication,


title of the work, and publication data. When you cannot find the example
reference you need in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association, choose the example that is most like your source and follow that
format. Sometimes you will need to combine elements of more than one
reference format. (APA Style, 2014)
http://www.apastyle.org/learn/faqs/example-reference.aspx
This means that you should make every attempt to find the correct way to reference
something, but if you cant find how to do it, use something similar as your model and do
your best. The main ideas are to clearly acknowledge your source, avoid plagiarism, use the
formatting as appropriately as possible and be consistent. If you do something one way the
first time, continue to use the same format throughout the document.

9 APA GENERAL RULES


1. Your essay should be written in Times New Roman, size 12.
2. Use a 2.5 cm margin above below and on both sides of your text.
3. Use a header with the name of your essay all in capital letters.
4. Put the page number in the top right of your header.
5. Double space your writing.
6. There are specific formats for headings.
a. Level 1 centred, bold
b. Level 2 left aligned, bold
c. Level 3 indented 5 spaces, bold, lowercase with a full stop at the end.
d. Level 4 indented, bold, italics. Lower case with a full stop.
7. Put the List of References on a separate page.

BASIC FORMS OF A QUOTATION

Use quotation marks around the quote and include page numbers when they are available.

Government Officials (EDPSGO) had a total of 754 participants since its start in 1996 (p.1).

The annual Executive Development Programme for Senior Government Officials (EDPSGO)
had a total of 754 participants since its start in 1996 (Zailani, 2014. p. 1).

BASIC FORMS OF A PARAPHRASE

Dont use quotation marks. Page numbers are optional.

In the last 18 years 754 people have participated in the Executive Development program
(Zailani, 2014. p. 1).

According to Zailani (2014) 754 people have participated in the Executive Development

12 WHAT DO I DO IF ?
IN-TEXT LIST OF REFERENCES
MALAY NAME Recommended method:

(Ena Herni Wasli, 2011) Ena Herni Wasli. (2011). Group Stage Drama SIRIH.'
Brunei: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.

NOTE: Enter the name as it appears in the document, but do not


include titles like Dato, Haji, Tun or Dr. Do not include bin or binti
or Haji or Hajah. The general rule is that if someone is born with
the title, it should remain, but if they have acquired it, it is
dropped for referencing purposes.

Ena Herni binti Wasli becomes Ena Herni Wasli.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The APA style guide does not discuss how to
reference Malay names. As a consequence there are several
different styles in use. We recommend the style above which
involves taking out any titles and presenting the name/s in the
order they appear. The rationale is that Malay names do not
include a family name.

However, there are other options. These are also possible:

1. Reference it as you would a western name.


Ena Herni Wasli becomes Wasli, E.H.
(Wasli, 2011) Wasli, E.H. (2011) followed by year and document title

2. Ask the author how they would like their name


referenced. For example, Associate Professor, Noor
Azam OKMB Haji-Othman from UBD would tell you that
his preference is : Noor Azam Haji-Othman
Noor Azam Haji-Othman (2014) followed by year and
(Noor Azam Haji-Othman, 2014) document title

3. Another UBD staff member


Hairuni Hj Md Ali Maricar is generally cited as:
Hairuni M.A.
(Hairuni, 2014)
Hairuni M.A. (2014) followed by year and document title

So you can see that the whole area is quite confusing.


We recommend the example at the top of the page, but the
MOST IMPORTANT RULE is that whatever you choose to do, you
MUST BE CONSISTENT. The List of References and the in-text
references must match.

If you ask the writers you are citing and two or three of them ask
for different styles, one option that is sometimes used is to put a
note in italics at the top of the page under the References
heading. In that note you can give a quick explanation of why
you have used different styles for different Malay names.

BRUNEI, ABU DHABI AND DEPLETING OIL AND GAS RESERVES 2
DRAFT

As the worlds population continues to grow, the strain increases on the limited

energy resources that can be provided, particularly its finite oil and gas reserves.

According to Central Intelligence Agency, CIA (2014), the worlds oil reserves have

been depleting as there is only a proven reserve of 1.63 trillion barrels left. Thus, it is

vital to look into alternative energy resources to reduce the worlds over-reliance on oil

and gas. Brunei and Qatar are two particular examples of oil-producing countries that Comment [u1]: NICE BACKGROUND. This raises

need to focus more on sustainable alternative energy resources to meet the rising

demands of their people and to ensure the prosperity of their respective economies.

However, Qatar has made far more progress in exploring alternative resources compared

to Brunei. This essay will discuss: the current status of Brunei and Qatars oil and gas

reserves; actions in overcoming the prevalent issue of over-dependency on oil and gas,

using solar energy in particular; and what Brunei can learn from Qatar towards enhancing

Bruneis economic prosperity. Comment [u2]: GREAT! Your THESIS statement

moving in a downward trajectory. Thus, Brunei is determined to search for alternative

energy resources in order to maintain its economic prosperity. A number of possible

options - namely solar, wind, biomass and hydroelectricity - have been considered.

Currently, solar energy has been discovered to have the highest potential as a major

alternative in Brunei, due to the high availability of solar radiation in the country since it

is located near to the equator. A few projects have been conducted to prove this. For Comment [u6]: GRAMMAR due to its location

increase production in oil and gas, reassure an efficient and considerable supply of

energy and improve the economy with the help of the energy sector by 2030, as stated in

the Energy White Paper (Islam and Bahari, 2012, p. 9). Additionally, more solar-

powered plants are already under development to help provide energy in exchange for oil

and gas. According to Malik (2011), Brunei has also formed partnerships with Japan and

USA in expanding Bruneis use of other alternative resources. With this, Brunei attempts

to ensure that it is not over-reliant on its oil and gas. Comment [u11]: This would benefit from a

geographical location ensures that the country receives a high solar exposure. One of the

major actions that has been taken by Qatar is the construction of a polysilicon production

plant in Ras Laffan Industrial City which is projected to produce 8000 tonnes per year of

polysilicon - a vital component in photovoltaic cells used for solar energy generation

(Bachellerie, 2012 in Bhutto, Bazmi, Zahedi and Klemes, 2014). Furthermore, in the light

solar energy by the year 2020. This further highlights Qatars ever-growing commitment

towards the application of solar technologies to sustain its future energy requirements.

Brunei has much to learn from Qatar in finding alternative energy resources to

maintain and improve its economy by taking more actions in diversifying its options. It

was discovered that Brunei has the potential to produce more than 16,000 MW of solar

power (ASEAN Affairs, 2011). Therefore, similar to Qatars goal in achieving a two

percent target of solar-produced energy by 2020, Brunei has the ability to supply most of

its required energy through solar-powered plants. Solar energy can be used in the

production of materials to further expand the development of solar power generation,

hence broadening the applications of the technology. Brunei can also decide to use solar

energy for more useful purposes such as providing a better environment and service for

the society by channeling and widening its usage to improve Bruneis infrastructure. Comment [u18]: Example?

Brunei must learn from Qatar to advance its research on more energy resource options

such as nuclear energy, geothermal energy and biofuels. This, however, will require a

huge sum of financial investment which Brunei needs to take into account of. Moreover, Comment [u19]: GRAMMAR Check your

DRAFT
In conclusion, Brunei and Qatar have both taken steps to reduce their dependency

on oil and gas, hence assuring the stability of their respective economies. This essay has

discussed Bruneis rising interest in solar energy and the projects that the sultanate has

embarked upon to utilise this renewable resource. Qatar, on the other hand, has

conducted more studies on alternative resources and has used solar energy in the

production of other important materials. In addition, Brunei has to learn from Qatar to Comment [u20]: This is quite strong. Do you

1. Introduction

This report was requested on January 22, 2014 for LE-2503 Academic Report Writing

and Presentation Skill assessment. The topic is Has the proliferation of the fast food

outlets in the last five years changed the eating habits of the people in Brunei?

Findings must be submitted by March 29, 2014. The main task is to research if there Comment [u26]: Change the word perhaps

outlets during the past five years. An additional interest is the increase of health Comment [u28]: change
in response to the
problems among Bruneians as a result of unhealthy fast food consumption. Fast food

can cause high blood pressure, obesity and heart disease due to the high amounts of salt

and fat in the food (Therien, 2013). Therefore there could be a relationship between an

increase of health problems, the proliferation of fast food outlets and eating habits of

Bruneians. This report will focus on fast food restaurants and fifty Bruneian customers

aged fifteen to sixty years old in Brunei-Muara District, overlooking foreign buyers and

other district in Brunei Darussalam. Comment [u29]: Unnecessary addition - delete

2. Literature Review

Obesity is the number one fastest-growing health problems in Brunei and the number Comment [u30]: GRAMMAR

of Bruneian adults who are obese has doubled to 27 per cent in 2011 compared to 1997

data (Oxford Business Group, 2014). Comment [u31]: GREAT use of referencing in
your Lit Review. Well done.

Research conducted by the American Heart Association on South East Asia

populations showed that people in this region who ate fast food (hamburgers, hot dogs,

French fries and pizza) at least twice a week were 56 per cent more likely to die of

heart disease (Therien, 2013).

According to University of Denvers (n.d.) forecasting system, total percentage of

Bruneis adults aged 30 years and older that are obese shows increasing trends from Comment [u32]: GRAMMAR future use will

29.6 per cent in 2014 to 30.6 per cent in 2030 and by 2060 the obesity rate will reach

one third of the overall population aged 30 years and older (Table 1).

3. Methodology

Research for this report was conducted through survey and references from newspaper

and authorised websites. The aim of the survey is to gather data and information on Comment [u34]: meaning is not clear. What is
an authorised website?
Bruneians eating habits and preference in relation to fast food. A common set of

questions was used for all the surveys and the survey was in English language. A self-

administered survey with fifteen questions was used and was conducted from 8th to 19th

March 2014. The number of respondents is fifty people which are approximately 0.02

per cent of the total population in Brunei-Muara Districts. The target respondent for the

survey are Bruneis working age-group aged between fifteen to sixty years old and they Comment [u35]: delete

were randomly chosen at shopping complexes, government office and universities.

Microsoft excel was used to analyse the data and for constructing the tables and

figures. Simple statistics methods also used to analyse the data such as cumulative

reflect the views of a majority of Bruneians about the research. Comment [u36]: Why not? More explanation of
the limitations of your survey is needed.

5. Discussion

Based on the findings, there is no correlation seen between the respondents eating

habits and the increased of fast food outlets for the past five years. Although there is an

increase of approximately twelve new fast food outlets from the year 2009 to 2014

(Zin, 2010; KFC branch opens in SPARK, 2011; Noor, 2011&2013; Joanda,

2011&2012; Lee, 2012; KFC opens in Mentiri, 2013; Adnan, 2013; & Salleh, 2014),

there is no significant difference in the frequency of fast food consumption of the

respondents today compare to five years ago as shown in Figure 1. However 84 per

cent of the respondents slightly agree and agree that the eating habits of Bruneians were

affected by the increase of the fast food outlets for the past five years (Table 2).

From the findings, it is seen that half of the respondents eat fast food at least once a

week (Figure 2). This could be because in the fast food outlets, the preparation of meals Comment [u49]: Could be?
