Does everything have to be cited and referenced in essays and assignments?
Answer
There are a number of instances where no citations or references are required:
• Well-established facts or common knowledge e.g. World War II began in 1939
• Old established nursery rhymes, sayings and proverbs
• Your own thoughts and ideas
It is important to note that this can be a grey area so if in doubt, cite.
