Erroneous Bibliographies in Students’ Course Work: Is There A Solution?

Abstract
This research work is aimed to investigate reasons for the presence of erroneous bibliographies and reference list with in students’ course work, and to propose a viable solution. In other word we are trying to determine why students of higher education are presenting reference lists and bibliographies that have incorrect or ambiguous information. This is a critical factor for any scholarly work and error in these lists can cause retrieval of such information either impossible or very difficult.

To investigate this issue an in-depth research is being conducted. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are being employed i.e. a hybrid method of research is being used to acquire thorough understanding of this aspect. Scope of this research is limited to the academia, and we are targeting students and teachers of undergraduate and post graduate levels. Thus the two stake holders are included in this investigation.

In this talk I will share some results of the above mentioned research work and a proposed model to answer our research questions.
