Referencing is a way of acknowledging that you have used the ideas and written material of another author. It demonstrates that you have searched the appropriate literature and that you have carried out reading on your topic. It enables anyone reading your work to look up your references and read them for themselves.

There are many referencing styles available (e.g. Harvard, Chicago, Vancouver). Check with your department as to the style required by your lecturer or supervisor.
