Abstract
A good citation and referencing practice starts when a student
correctly cites and follows the specified citation format.
Academic integrity is closely associated with plagiarism but
there is another particular error that academics neglect to
verify: the proper formatting of a reference list based on a
particular citation style. The purpose of the study is to trace,
review and analyze the reference list of selected master’s
theses submitted to one of the leading universities in
Kazakhstan. Results showed a high number of referencing
errors. Having a standard format will prevent future mistakes.
