我们在前面两篇文章里分别摘取了该老师如何看待论文抄袭和论文代写的（分别见《《大学英语老师如何看待抄袭》》《turnitin的英文大学老师如何看待代写？》）。这篇是该老师阐述他是如何看待引用的。turnitin是很看重引用的，合理的引用不仅不会有高的重复率，且在老师那边评分也会很高，所以我们要学会引用哦。
前文也有提及过，“引用”又被成为“参考”，是非常重要却又容易被同学们忽略的一件事，因为每篇论文给引用这一项的分值分配都很少。然而千万要记得的是，如果没有正确的进行“引用”，你可能就会成为被误认为是“抄袭”的冤大头啦！由此带来turnitin查重的重复率会很高的。
在我看来，引用是一种标注出所有正文里信息来源的方法。它能指所有来自专（bie）家（ren）说过的话或是写过的句子，从而帮助读者找到每一句这样的陈述的来源。还有一点要注意的是，reference一定要来源于出版过的文献，教科书、杂志期刊、大型报纸（不是小报哦！）、官方信息（比如新闻公报之类的）。不能是未知作者的的文献，比如维基百科。如果想投机取巧用Wikipedia的话，大概还是死了这条心为好，还有人会想引用别人的论文，但是请千万记住，一般只有博士的毕业论文才有参考价值，别的论文因为没有被出版过，所以还是不要引用了，搞不好还会被算作抄袭。
指导/监督老师找的是啥？
论文导师和讲师通常希望同学们能够遵循一种标准的引用系统进行引用，比如哈佛标准或者芝加哥标准。首先，你应该了解这两种不同系统的引用标准，对于每一种引用来源的标准都要清！清！楚！楚！比如网上来源，文献，期刊，报纸等等。当你搞清楚了这些标准以后，记得在作引用的时候，要完完全全的按照这些标准来。比如说，你想要在论文里写一句来自“专家A”说的观点，就一定要记得在文章里面的括号里标注好专家的名字以及说这句话的时间。
到底怎么作引用？
如果你想要清清楚楚的了解引用常用信息来源的方法和标准，比如哈佛标准，你可以到学校图书馆去找一找相关手册或者例子，看懂了那些例子以后，自然也就能融会贯通地自己进行论文里的引用啦！
说了这么多，希望同学们现在都能够分清楚“抄袭”，“代写”和“引用”的区别，并且把正确的引用方式运用到以后自己写论文的过程中啦！
最后的最后，还是想要强调一下：永远记得诚信是英国学校和老师最最看中的。想必大家可能感觉得近两年中国学生集中的专业考试越来越多，其实基本上就是学校和老师为了防止抄袭和代写非法获得好成绩，想要再次检验学生真是水平。所以在你心中一千万只草泥马狂奔地准备考试的时候，要知道这场考试可能就是因为你的前辈留给你的礼（xue）物（zhai）。
下面是该老师的原话：
Referencing (aka citing)
Importance of referencing. As mentioned previously, referencing, also known as citing, is a key area which often gets overlooked by many students, due to its low mark allocation. But remember, without referencing appropriately, you could be caught for plagiarism.
I would describe referencing as a method to highlight the information sources used in the body of any text. Referencing is used to acknowledge statements or quotes from an expert, and to allow the reader to trace the source. Please use published sources as references such as academic textbooks, journals (e.g. business journals), newspapers (broadsheet newspapers, not tabloid newspapers), and government sources (such as a range of news websites) rather than sources whereby it is often not possible to know the writer and therefore have no idea of the level of trustworthiness of the source (such as Wikipedia). If you would like to cite other’s dissertation, it is usually viable for those written by PHDs, as other dissertations are normally not published, and may result in suspicision of plagiarism.
What supervisors look for?
Dissertation supervisors and lecturers expect you and every other student to follow the rules set by a specific referencing system, i.e. Harvard-style or Chicago. Firstly you need to ensure you understand what these rules are for each type of source you use (e.g. online source, book, journal, newspaper, etc). Once you have the understanding you must adhere to those given rules. For example, if you put forth an argument from ‘expert A’, it is essential to include their name and date of source in brackets, within the text.
How to reference i.e. Harvard Template/Example
To fully understand the referencing method for commonly used materials, make sure to visit your university library.
I hope you are now armed with the knowledge to write a great dissertation!
Last but not least, I would like to emphasize again that integrity is always the most important thing that UK schools and teachers concerns. You may have noticed that there have been more examinations especially set for Chinese students these years. This is actually a method that schools use to assess the true ability of students again, reducing the chance of plagiarism and ghost-writing being neglected.
