I also need to be aware that “What?” people already know a lot about the subject and also subjects around it and I need to get my facts right as they certainly will.
For this reason, it is important that I make clear the difference what is my own creative work and what
I have taken from others, and the best way for me to do this is to reference my work
(I have used the APA referencing system below for my references, which makes it easier for us to format it here at Nine Points. If it is a general idea that I am taking from the book then a reference is acceptable, but if I am using direct quotes
(which I should keep fairly short) or diagrams, then page numbers are necessary.
