Harvard (Author Date) referencingSlide2

Why Reference?

To avoid plagiarism.

To show your research

To help the reader find the sources used

To help you find a source againSlide3

There are two parts to referencing

In-text citation

Reference list (Bibliography)Slide4

In-text citation

In-text citations are needed when you

quote

or

paraphrase

an author.

Harvard Referencing uses the

‘author-date’

systemSlide5

Referencing quotes

Quotes are referenced in-text using the following format:

(Author’s last name Year of publication, Page number/s)

You may use the author’s name in a sentence, omitting it from the brackets. For example:

Evans (2003, p. 157) states that……Slide6

Examples of short quotations

A short quote will be written as follows. According to Evans (2003, p. 60), “The lessons of 25 April had gone unlearned." Another way to write a quote could look like this. “The invasion of the

Suvla

Bay area was characterized by a lack of energy . . .” (Evans 2003, p. 127). The quote used here is not the full sentence, so no full stop has been used within the quotation marks.Slide7

Example of a longer quotation

A longer quote is one that is two or more sentences long. I this case the quote is formatted differently. The quote is indented (left and right margins) and a smaller font is used.

"Get ready for university study introduces some of the key skills needed for successful university-level study . . .the resource benefits a wide audience, from school-leavers, new and potential students, to postgraduates, professionals and others."

(Smith 2008, p. 60-61)

After the quote, standard font size and margins are used to continue with the essay.Slide8

Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing is presenting the ideas or information of others using your own words. Quotation marks are not used, and there is no change to the layout. Remember, page numbers are not included.

Examples

Although the materials were originally developed for a comparatively small user group, many others have also found them useful. (Smith, 2008).

According to Smith (2008), although the materials were originally developed for a comparatively small user group, many others have also found them useful. Slide9

Interviews, emails & letters

Information used from personal communication also needs to be referenced in text. It will not be put in the reference list.

The format is:

Name of interviewee, Year, Per. Comm., day and Month

e.g.

(T Hogan, 2015, Per. Comm., 22 March)

Note: Initial comes

before

surname when referencing personal communication.Slide11

The Reference list

The reference list gives full details of sources you have referenced in your text

A bibliography gives full details of sources you used in your research, but didn’t reference in your text

The bibliography is put at the end of the essay. References are put in alphabetical orderSlide12

Books are to be referenced as follows

Use the same name format (surname, initial) for books with 2 authors.

For more than 2 authors, use the first authors name followed by

et al.

which is

L

atin for “and others”Slide13
