Referencing evidence
Referencing evidence in Health is key for both practice and for your study. It's important for several reasons:
- supports Evidence-Based Practice through clear alignment with available and credible research
- builds credibility and trust through demonstration of professionalism and accountability
- enables continuous learning and research connection
- provides evidence to support and strengthen your arguments and statements
- demonstrates academic integrity and supports the ethical practice of acknowledging the work of other researchers
- enables your reader to locate the sources referred to for further exploration.
In short, referencing evidence is part of informed, ethical, and high-quality healthcare.
