Website referencing help - ICS

Monika

Looks like my referencing has lost me marks, particular  my websites ....

I've followed the guide from ICS but I'm still struggling to get my head around it, would the below be correct...

I am quoting from Deloitte's website (bold what is directly from website)

Advances in technology can improve overall performance of the business, according to a recent study by Deloitte “the rise of automated and machine controlled workflows have the potential to disrupt HR departments. For instance, machine learning may replace or enhance increasingly complex HR-related tasks while cloud storage can lead to more flexibility”

I feel like it should read Deloitte (2019) or have some kind of date. What if I can't find the date it was published?

Website referencing:

Deloitte https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/de/Documents/strategy/Future-of-Human-Resources-2030-Deloitte-Glimpse-Paper.PDF [accessed 28/03/2019] - does this read correctly?

Sorry I know this is back to basics but my tutor seems to be very strict with the referencing for this assignment compared to my previous submissions!  

Thank you :)

  • Hi Monika, I have encountered similar situations where strict referencing requirements have to be adhered to. For such scenarios, I would include the full reference at the end of the assignment with the link. It's always a good idea to closely follow the format given in your referencing guide so you don't lose marks.

    Just to mention, have always found these resources very helpful indeed - especially their reference generator, which saved me no end of drudgery listing many hundreds of text references for an MA dissertation.
    Do think those tutors / markers who get unduly pedantic about incorrect referencing and mark work down a lot because of it often are very wrong - if the content is otherwise clear and intelligible that's what matters and the referencing is merely presentation. Incorrect referencing should of course be pointed out and appropriate guidance given but usually in itself it shouldn't result in anything other than minor loss of marks
