Bibliographies ​& Data Charts

When researching, collect your information in an organised manner and record the sources. This will help you acknowledge where you found the information. 
​
​Presenting someone else's information and ideas as your own is a form of cheating. It is known as plagiarism. 

Using a bibliography form and a data chart will help you avoid plagiarism.
You can also use a reference generator to help you present your sources in the correct way.

Data Charts

Use a data chart to record your notes. These notes can then be used to create your assignment response. You can't use the exact words you copy. You'll need to paraphrase the information.

Paraphrasing:

Paraphrasing is taking a set of facts or opinions and rewording them in your own words. Even though you are not using the exact words of the original author, you must still cite the author as the source of your ideas.

To paraphrase you need to re-write a phrase or sentence keeping the same meaning but using different words. In order to paraphrase your need to ensure you fully understand the original sentence. Try changing the order of the sentence and using synonyms. It is best if you can change the sentence structure as well.

Sample data chart

Examples of paraphrasing:

Original:  Koalas particularly like Mana Gum leaves and they can consume up to 1.5 kilograms of leaves a day.

Paraphrase: A koala can eat up to 1.5 kilograms of leaves every day and they have a preference for the leaves of the Mana Gum. 

Original: Any trip to Ballarat should include a visit to the goldfields of Sovereign Hill to sample a day in the life of the 1850s.

Paraphrase: When visiting Ballarat be sure to include a day at Sovereign Hill to experience the goldfields of the 1850s.  ​

Bibliographies

Use the bibliography form to record the sources of your information (Level 1 & Level 2). Alternatively you could create a Reference List or Bibliography of your sources (Level 3).  
​The bibliography form works in conjunction with the data chart. Use it to record all the details about where you found the information. This ensures you have acknowledged where you found the information.
