Explanation : Referencing is giving credit, with citation,
to the source of information used in one's
work. It is done at the end of a thesis in
a particular format and style. If it is done
inappropriately, it is a technical lapse on the
part of the researcher. It however, doesn't
undermine the researcher's competency in
writing a thesis, nor does it point to lack of
commitment. It certainly does not violate
ethical concerns.
