Referencing Guide: Harvard Style The Harvard Style of referencing is widely accepted in scholarly circles. In the Harvard Style each reference is indicated in the text by the author and date of the publication cited, sometimes with added information such as page numbers. You may come across many different styles or ways of using the Harvard or author-date system • • •
Your references should appear at the end of your essay/report with entries listed alphabetically by author (or by title if there is no author). Before you write your list of references/bibliography check with your lecturer/tutor for the bibliographic style they prefer. Your references should identify an item (book, journal article, web page) in sufficient detail so that others may identify and consult it.
Secondary citation
If you wish to cite from a work quoted in another source, you need to give the details of the source that you found the reference in e.g. Chu, according to Burgmann, found .... The reference list would then only refer to Burgmann's publication.E.g. Burgmann, P 1998, 'Referencing: a critical issue facing students today', Journal of academic writing , no. 27, pp. 18-9, viewed 22 July 2009, in Business Source Premier.
