Harvard Referencing Guide

 CENTRE FOR LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACADEMIC LEARNING AND LANGUAGE Harvard Referencing Guide Harvard referencing style uses references in two places in a piece of writing: in the text and in a reference list at the end. In general, each name that appears in the text must also appear in the reference list, and every work in the reference list must also be referred to in the main text. (There are some rare exceptions to this rule which are given in the following guide.) All the details of the reference are important, including the full stops and commas. In-text references in Harvard style should give the author’s family name and the year of the work’s publication; if you quote or paraphrase, you should also give a page number.

Here is a generic example, as it would appear in a reference list, for a journal article with three authors:

Author,˰AA,˰Author,˰B˰&˰Author,˰C˰YEAR,˰'Article title in between single quotes, in lower case and with no full stop to end',˰Journal Title in Italics with Capitals,˰vol.˰##,˰no.˰#,˰pp.˰##-##.

Note: ˰ represents a space.

In the text, it would look like this: It has been claimed that . . . (Author, Author & Author YEAR, p. #). It could also look like this: Author, Author and Author (YEAR, p. #) claim that . . .

Note: in the first in-text example the & sign is used; this is because the names are in brackets. In the second example, the word ‘and’ is used; this is because the names are part of the sentence and only the year and page number are in brackets.

In the examples which follow, no page numbers are given for the in-text examples. However, remember that you will need to include a page number if you quote or paraphrase. If you are referring only to one page, use the abbreviation p. If you are referring to more than one page, use the abbreviation pp.

Notes

And / &

• For in-text references, use 'and' between names in the text and '&' between names in brackets. • Use ‘&’ between authors’ names in the reference list. Authors

• An author is someone who has written a particular text, such as a book or journal article.

• An editor is someone who has compiled a text, such as a dictionary, or a book to which several authors have

contributed.

• For two authors with the same family name, writing in the same year, include their initials in the in-text

reference. e.g. E Peters 2007, P Peters 2007. Give complete reference details as usual in the reference list and list them alphabetically in order of the family name followed by the authors’ initials.

• Use the name of the first author and then 'et al.' for 4 or more authors in in-text references. Give all the

authors in the reference list entry. Dates

• Website with no date – write n.d.

• Two books or articles written in the same year – use the letters ‘a’ and ‘b’ in the text and in the reference list.

e.g. Smith 2000a, Smith 2000b. Editions

• If a book has several editions, write the number of the edition you have used. N.B. This is not the same as the

printing or reprinting date. First editions do not say ‘first edition’, but second and subsequent editions will tell you which edition it is. Place of Publication

• Book with many places of publication – choose the first. • Book with no place of publication – write n.p. Pagination

• Use p. when referring to one page and pp. for more than one page. • Give page numbers in the text whenever you quote or paraphrase. Multiple and Secondary Sources

• For more than one source at one place in the text, put the references in brackets in alphabetical order,

separated by a semicolon (e.g. Brown 2003; Miller 2009; Smith 2001).

• For secondary sources, give both sources in the text (e.g. Smith 2001 in Wright 2004) and only put the book

you have physically used in the reference list (e.g. Wright, IM 2004, How to quote, Book Press, Adelaide). Special Exceptions

• For classics (e.g. Virgil), give the line number and the date of the edition you have used in the reference list

but not in the text.

• Details of dictionaries, plays and poetry are not usually included in the reference list, unless you are studying a

text and need to give publication and edition details.
