Referencing (HARVARD) By Ian Cole
Referencing (HARVARD) • Demonstrate use of the Harvard system of referencing. • The Why, What, How of referencing. • Understand the guidelines for the submission of written work.
Referencing (HARVARD) Quote from the Student Handbook: “A reference list must be provided, using the Harvard referencing system” DoHS student handbook 2001/2002 Appendix G page 45.
Referencing (HARVARD) Why? • Acknowledge debts to other writers. • Demonstrate the body of knowledge upon which your assignment is based. • Enable the reader(s) to locate your sources easily.
Referencing Conventions(HARVARD) What ? • Citing/Citation • The way that (you) the writer refer to texts that you wish to include in your work – example to follow. • Can also be all of the information retrieved from a bibliographical database search. • References • an alphabetical list describing each source that you have used. • Bibliography • a list of material you have used for information or inspiration but have not referred to directly in the text.
A paraphrase is... • your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form. • one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source. • a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.
Method of citation • Mention author(s) • Date of publication Cole and Kelsey (2003) conclude that…. According to Cole (2001 p 25) ‘the evidence suggests these systems will not continue unless……’
