  6. In-text citations Harvard: In the Harvard style, you usually include the author's surname and the date of publication in brackets (Jones, 2005). For each citation there should be a full reference at the end of your work, giving the full details of the source. Jones, A. 2005. References and citations. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Numeric: In the Numeric style, the citation is a number that refers the reader to a corresponding reference in your reference list. The first source cited in your work is allocated number 1; the second is allocated number 2, and so on. 1. Jones, A. References and citations. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005. 2. Adams, B. Referencing in academic work. London: Sage publications, 2008.

  8. In-text citations: More tips Tip 1: To cite a source that you have read in another source: Harvard: (Matthews, 1998, cited in Brown, 2001, p.17). Numeric: Matthews (5, p.17) cites Brown, who emphasises...

  9. In-text citations: More tips Tip 2: If you are citing items from the same author in the same year: Harvard: They should be distinguished by adding a lower-case letter after the year . Numeric: This isn’t a problem as the source would just be allocated another number • E.g.: It was emphasised that citations in a text should be consistent (Jones, 1998a). In a work published later that year Jones (1998b) proposed that...

  10. In-text citations: More tips Tip 3: If there is no author: Harvard: (Anon, 2011) Numeric: Use Anon in your reference list Tip 4: If there is no date: Harvard: In-text citation: (Jones, no date) Bibliography: [no date] Numeric: In your reference list write [no date] where the year would normally appear

  11. References in your bibliography or reference list

  13. Different types of sources When you are reading for an assignment you may use a whole range of sources: • A book • A chapter in an edited book • A journal article • An electronic journal article • A website • An email • A map Now we will practise writing references for several of these sources

  14. Practical referencing activity • Reference: • Book • Chapter in an edited book • Journal article • E-journal article • Website

  15. Answers: the book reference Harvard • Abbas, A.K. and Lichtman, A.H. 2001. Basic immunology: functions and disorders of the immune system. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company. Numeric • Abbas, A.K. and Lichtman, A.H. Basic immunology: functions and disorders of the immune system. Philadelphia: W.B. Saunders Company, 2001.

  19. Setting out bibliographies: Harvard When listing your references you can either include: • a reference list - an alphabetical list of citations that have appeared in the body of your work; if using this, you may also include • a full bibliography - listing all the sources of information you have consulted in your research, and this list should also be arranged alphabetically. • Alternatively you can just provide a full bibliography - check with you School regarding their requirements.

  20. Bibliography: Harvard Belz. F. and Schmidt-Riediger, B. 2010. Marketing strategies in the age of sustainable development: Evidence from the food industry. Business Strategy and the Environment 19(7), pp.652-669. Brenkert, G. 2008. Marketing ethics. Malden: Blackwell Publishing Capon, N. 2007. The marketing mavens. New York: Crown Business

  21. Setting out bibliographies: Numeric • When listing your references you should include: • A reference list - a list of citations, in the order that they have appeared in your work. Repeated citations to the same item have the same number within the text as the first citation. • A full bibliography - listing all the sources of information that you have consulted in your research including background reading. The references in your bibliography that you have not cited in your work will not have a number, therefore this list should be arranged alphabetically by author's surname. • Check with you School regarding their requirements.

  22. For example…

  23. To sum up: • Use the style your school has selected. If it is Harvard or Numeric use the Leeds University versions of these styles • Remember a citation is a reference within the text, a reference comes at the end of your text • Gain marks by referencing correctly and consistently! • Avoid plagiarism

  24. Further help: • Use the referencing guidance on the Library referencing webpages: http://library.leeds.ac.uk/skills-referencing
