Student Assessment Citation and Referencing Rules
Holmes has implemented a revised Harvard approach to referencing. The following rules apply:
- Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources that provide full-text access to the source's content for lecturers and markers.
- The reference list must be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled: "References".
- The reference list must include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged A-Z alphabetically by author surname with each reference numbered (1 to 10, etc.) and each reference MUST include a hyperlink to the full text of the cited reference source.For example:

- All assignments must include in-text citations to the listed references.These must include the surname of the author/s or name of the authoring body, year of publication,page number of the content, and paragraph where the content can be found. For example, "The company decided to implement an enterprise-wide data warehouse business intelligence strategy (Hawking et al., 2004, p3(4))."
Non-Adherence to Referencing Rules
Where students do not follow the above rules, penalties apply:
- For students who submit assignments that do not comply with all aspects of the rules, a 10% penalty will be applied.
- As per the Student Handbook, late penalties will apply each day after the student/s has been notified of the due date.
- Students who comply with rules BUT their citations are 'fake' will be reported for academic misconduct.
