Referencing theories
Posted: Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:21 am
Hello all
I'm new to CC and have only written a handful of articles so far, and today received my first sale - yay! I'm planning on writing a series of articles about management, I've gained management qualifications through work so I thought I could use my studying to my advantage (other than at work!). One question I have relates to referencing theories in my articles. For example, if I'm talking about Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory, can I just talk about it and assume that readers will be aware of it or search it out for themselves, or should I reference a webpage that explains it?
Many thanks in advance for your advice!
