Harvard Referencing
Harvard
referencing is a method for citing other people’s work from literature and
research. This can then be used as evidence to help support an argument. By
using quotations and referencing sources you are avoiding plagiarism and ensuring
that the author receives appropriate credit for their work. Harvard referencing
also enables the reader to further research the topic by looking into your
resources used.
All sources
referenced should be included in a bibliography at the end of your assignment. When
referencing literature from a book this should be listed as the Author’s name,
year in brackets, book title, edition and place of publication. If it is another
source you write the author, year in brackets, title of the article, title of
the journal/newspaper etc., volume number, pages used.
“1. Citations are written in the
text of your assignment by citing the author’s family/surname followed by the
date of the source in brackets i.e. Brown (2010).
2. A complete list of all the citations
used in your text will need to be provided at the end of your assignment. This
is called your reference list or bibliography and needs to be presented in
alphabetical author/originator order”.

The bibliography
should be listed in alphabetical order.
