referencing guide

A referencing guide is a set of rules that shows how to properly credit sources of information used in writing, such as books, articles, or websites. It ensures you give clear and consistent details about where your information came from, like author names, publication dates, and page numbers. This helps readers verify your sources, adds credibility to your work, and avoids plagiarism. Different fields or institutions may have specific styles (like APA, MLA, or Chicago), and the referencing guide explains how to follow those particular formats accurately.
