In this video, I provide some advice on how to use sources effectively in your academic writing. You might find the following time indices helpful in perusing the contents of the video.


01:23 Using sources to support a factual statement
02:03 Using sources to illustrate/support a theory/concept/theme
02:54 Using sources to develop an argument/line of reasoning

03:50 Example 1: Avoid unsubstantiated assertions; use sources to support what you say.
05:12 Example 2: Avoid reliance on unreliable website sources in your work; prioritise peer reviewed sources.
07:11 Example 3: Don't expect the reader to figure out the significance of the sources you use; make the relationship between the source and the point being made clear.
