Is a come across part of the overall process of building a knowledge base in the knowledge base of study. Better enables justification of assertions/ hypotheses. Is recognition of others work. Shows the way through the knowledge-base to others. Demonstrates competence in the house of study. Engenders confidence in your works credibility Means ones chain of reasoning to the resultant postulations are verifiable or challengeable. The three make words or enunciates I selected to use to undertake literary works search are Verification (confirmation of theoret ic base) Recognition (acknowledgement) Knowledge-building (evolution of theoretical thinking) Keyword search 1. For my first search I utilise ACAPs e-journal search railway locomotive focussing on The Psychinfo database and after some(prenominal) unsatisfactory attempts, tried the Boolean phrase ( academic verification) AND referencing. Results offered ten articles, one of picky but contrarian relevance. In the journal article, Westwood, T. 2005) writes Ive not yet heard a real and convincing argument about why referencing is necessary and it cant be right that we do it like a reflex, a compulsion, Academics dynamics 171 because weve had it drummed into us from way nates when we were taught to march our way through essays and exams can it? Left, right, left, right, left, right left. . . And, name and addresss shouldnt be apply to justify a position were taking in the sense of utilise them as a precedent (the characters cant justify the author) only to broadly speaking accompany our position in that we (as authors) are leading the way and not concealing behind anything or anyone that weve written into our text. synopsis Westwood appears to be quite a disestablishmentarian, which of itself provides a applicable perspective on the field of battle matter. However, because of the position the author takes and asserts by his actions or inactions the journal article is consciously not pen. It would be effectual to an essay on the topic in providing an academically binding and contrarian position, but most probably would not be regarded as fully trusty under close academic scrutiny. Reference Westwood, T. (2005). Academics dynamics re-writing referencing, Psychodynamic Practice 11(2), 165-176. Keyword search 2. I then utilised Google scholar for the get wind word, Recognition. I again used a Boolean phrase, recognition AND (academic referencing).This search standard over 40,000 possible webpage hits, but the first page of the search results p rovided a link to a peer reviewed article by Gray, Thompson, Clerehan and Sheard (2008), addressing the topic of referencing the meshwork for academic integrity. It proffers a contemporary analysis of the challenges surrounding courtly academic referencing in regard to internet based information and opinion sources such as blogs, facebook , wikis and audio and video podcasting. compendium I feel this webpage would be a highly useful and relevant reference source for an academic essay on the chosen topic.

The profit and Higher Education,11(2), 112-118. doi. org/10. 1016/j. iheduc. 2008. 03. 01 Keyword search 3. For the third key word search I used www. google. com. au with the search-phrase (academic knowledge building) AND references This provided two potentially useful sites. http//en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Knowledge_building Summary This website site fulfill good purpose in that it contained many references of relevant academic works on the topic. However, despite its authorship obviously being of academic origin, it was offered anonymously and without chronology. While the site could be referenced and the quotes used, the source is not transparent, making it dubious for direct academic purposes. And http//www. csu. edu. u/division/studserv/my-studies/learning/guides/referencing once again the material on this web page provided useful information and even a highly relevant and appropriately referenced quotation (see below), but its usefulness for the purposes of academic quotation was curtailed by its anonymity and absence of chronology. The author writes The academic world is all about knowledge building and the direct reason for citation, therefore, is that it encourages and supports the collective construction of academic knowledge (Walker Taylor, 2006, pp. 29-30). The split continued, Referencing als o forms an inseparable part in avoiding any inclination of an orbit towards plagiarism. While the quotation in this paragraph from Walker and Taylor (2006) is highly pertinent to the literature search, it itself would have to be searched to establish its credibility, and as the second sentence could not be attributed, it is therefore of limited use in an academic essay, however true. Summary This webpage provided relevant information for further literature search but itself is not a useful referencing tool for academic purposes as it is undated and anonymous, and perhaps without objectivity.
