大家好，有關英國Queen Mary（我是想要申請LLM）的推薦信提供方式，看了以下網站上
的說明後還是不太理解，請問是否有申請過的人可以幫忙說明一下～～（不懂為何要有「
open reference」的概念…）
是說有可能有以下兩種方式嗎：
1. 老師已提供推薦信給你，那就自己彩色掃描後，上傳至申請系統；或
2. 提供老師的email（是提供到上傳系統嗎？），讓系統寄email給老師，老師自行上傳
推薦信
感謝！
以下附上網站原文：
Referee details.
Your academic referee(s) may already have provided you with a reference that y
ou can use to support any application for study or research that you make. We
call these ‘open’ references. Open references will normally only be accepted
if they are written on headed paper, provided as a colour copy of the origina
l, and provide the referee’s work contact details.
If you have open references, please upload these at the time of application I
f you do not have open reference, we will contact your referee(s) via email to
supply a reference, preferably electronically. Please note, we can only accep
t a reference provided by email if it is sent from a university or company ema
il address. References from a personal email address such as 'Yahoo' or 'Hotma
il' are not acceptable.
Your referee(s) can also supply a paper reference in response to the referenc
e request email your referee will receive. Paper reference forms should be end
orsed by an appropriate institution/company stamp or on official institution/c
ompany letterhead, and should be provided as a scanned colour copy of the orig
inal.

申請時提供1位推薦人的資料及聯絡方式，可選擇要申請人自行上傳推薦信或由系統通知推薦人上傳。

它寫的很清楚了。open reference就是避免申請人作假，上傳假的推薦信，看清楚它的規定吧

感謝～～因為其他學校確保真實性的方式都沒那麼複雜，也沒open reference概念，所以想確認一下

老師願意就彩色掃描上傳就好了。英國不是大部分學校都接受彩掃上傳嗎，不接受的個位數而已吧。
