This is often the only way to find out up-to-date information about a business or organisation. Non-academic sources must be included in your References list, but are NOT counted as part of your academic/scholarly sources.
Following are some of the suggested non-academic sources:
Organisation web sites, including:
Annual Reports

Media Releases
Media websites, including:
The Age
The Australian
The Australian Financial Review (AFR)
The ABC

Academic Misconduct
Students should familiarise themselves with the Academic Integrity Policy (available from the Deakin College website or the Student Portal under Students/Forms/Policies and Procedures).
Academic misconduct is a serious offence in academia. These include plagiarism, collusion, cheating and misrepresentations (which includes falsification of documents). Penalties will be applied consistently with the Academic Integrity Policy.
Plagiarism occurs when a student intentionally or accidentally presents the work of another person(s) as though it is their own original work without proper reference to that source or sources. For example, copying or paraphrasing an authors work without referencing that work, translating foreign works into English without acknowledging those sources, or reusing ones own previously submitted or assessed work.
Collusion occurs when work is produced by collaborating with other person(s), without permission, and then presenting that work as if it is your own. For example, copying any part of another students assignment, allowing another student to copy any part of your assignment, or allowing another person to rewrite or make changes to your assignment.
Cheating occurs when a student engages in other forms of dishonest conduct, whether in an assessment or in any representation. For example, communication with another student during an examination, having unauthorised notes during an examination the notes may be on or in an object, a data storage device or on any part of the body, or contract cheating, which is the purchasing work or commissioning another person or website to produce a work which is then passed off as your own.
Misrepresentation occurs when a student presents falsified documents, or by words, conduct or nondisclosure of information creates a false status or an impression inconsistent with facts, for example, falsely asserting attendance at a lecture or a laboratory session or submitting a falsified medical certificate.
Whenever you refer to another persons research or ideas (whether by directly quoting or by paraphrasing them) you MUST acknowledge that source. Copying paragraphs from the internet and presenting them as your own work is plagiarism. If you download and copy paragraphs from the internet, you must identify the source.
You MUST acknowledge the sources that you have drawn on. This is a necessary courtesy to the original authors, and also allows the readers of your work to follow up on any points that you have raised.
If you directly copy another writer's phrase, sentence or paragraph, then you should use quotation marks and note the source of the quote. If you use another writer's ideas, but not his or her exact words, you should again note the source. There are a number of ways by which you can refer to other people's work.
The main referencing method used at Deakin College is the APA7 referencing method, which involves noting the author's name, the title of the article and journal, or book, the year of publication, the journal's volume number, the book publisher's name and location, and the relevant page numbers.
