Hi, my name is Jonny, and I'm a student at the University of Derby.
loading
One of the areas that a lot of new students run into trouble with is referencing.
loading
I'm going to talk you through a commonly used style known as Harvard referencing.
loading
When you're writing a piece of academic work, you'll be researching and reading a lot of
loading
work done by others to help formulate your ideas and arguments.
loading
You need to acknowledge where you found the information; not only because it's fair to
loading
give credit to the person whose hard work you're using, but also to avoid plagiarism.
loading
When using the Harvard referencing system, there are two stages to highlighting other
loading
people's work in your own, citing or referencing. Citing or citation is what you do in the text
loading
of your essay, where you highlight words or ideas that you've incorporated from somebody
loading
else's work. Referencing, is where you put all of the details
loading
of the source of the information that you've used at the end of your work in a separate
loading
section. The way that you use citation in your work,
loading
depends on whether you're using a direct word for word quote from another piece of work
loading
or if you're putting somebody else's ideas into your own words.
loading
If you're copying a statement word for word, you need to put quotation marks around it.
loading
If you're writing somebody else's ideas in your own words, then you don't need to use
loading
quotation marks. For both direct quotes and putting somebody
loading
else's work into your own words, you need to then indicate the source of the information,
loading
in brackets, at the end. These details are there to lead the reader
loading
to the full information at the back of the document.
loading
A citation only includes a maximum of three pieces of information.
loading
If you're copying a direct quote, this will be: the authors surname, the year the source
loading
was published and the page number. If it's not a direct quote, you should include
loading
the author and the year the source was published. The reference section of your work should
loading
include all of the information about the source of the statement that you've used in your
loading
essay. Each separate source of information should
loading
always start with the same information as the citation in your essay, so the source
loading
materials' details can easily be found. You should then organise each source alphabetically
loading
by the author. If for any reason there is no author, you
loading
should use the title of the source instead. Under the Harvard system, the order you present
loading
the information for each of your sources has to be done in a particular way.
loading
If you've got your information from a book, then you need to write down the following:
loading
The author or editor, the year of publication in round brackets, the title in italics; bold
loading
or underlined, the edition if it is not the first edition, the place of publication and
loading
the publisher, the series and volume number where relevant.
loading
If you used the information from an ebook in your work, then you need to write down
loading
the following: The author or editor, the year of publication in round brackets, the
loading
title in italics; bold or underlined, name of the ebook collection in italics; bold or
loading
underlined, the phrase "Online" in square brackets, the words "available at" followed
loading
by the url of the ebook, the word "accessed" followed by the date you accessed the information
loading
in brackets. If you used the information from a journal
loading
in your work, The author, the year of publication in round brackets, the
loading
title of the article in single quotation marks, the title of the journal in italics; bold
loading
or underlined and the volume, issue and page numbers.
loading
If you used information from an online journal in your work, then you need to write down
loading
the following: The author, the year of publication in round
loading
brackets, the title of the article in single quotation marks, the title of the journal
loading
in italics; bold or underlined, the volume, issue and page numbers, the name of the collection
loading
in italics; bold or underlined, the phrase "Online" in square brackets, the words "available
loading
at" followed by the url of the online journal article, the word "accessed" followed by the
loading
date you accessed the information in brackets. If you used information from a web page in
loading
your work, then you need to include: The author or publishing organisation, the
loading
year that the site was published or last updated in round brackets, the title of the internet
loading
site in italics; bold or underlined, the words "available at" followed by the url of the
loading
web page, the word "accessed" followed by the date you accessed the information in brackets.
