Referencing is acknowledging other's work or ideas that you have used in your assignment. There are many different referencing styles.

  For Neuroscience check with your lecturer, tutor or course co-ordinator to find out their preferred referencing style.

The Write, cite and submit module of Digital Essentials provides guidance on referencing assignments.
