The Harvard referencing style is used in almost any type of paper: from term papers, literature reviews, theoretical and empirical studies, to methodological articles, or other types of academic writings. Its main purpose is to provide an easy way of referencing sources in order to avoid suspicions of plagiarism and reinforcing the credibility of authors. Manner of referencing There are a number of sources you can cite within an academic paper: books, journals, Internet websites or newspaper articles are the most frequent. In order for the readers of your paper to pinpoint the original material, the Harvard referencing style consists of two elements, namely in-text citations and detailed references. In-text citations are the mentioning between brackets the author’s name and the date in which his or her book has been published.

...Student earning L Centre What is a referencing system? (Author-Date System) HARVARD REFERENCING There are many variations of the Harvard referencing style. This leaflet is based on the AGPS Style Manual (6th edn), 2002. It is advisable to check with each lecturer as to which variation they require you to use and to follow that advice for the work submitted to that lecturer. A referencing system is a standardised way of informing readers of the sources of information, ideas, graphics etc. that are used in any given work, e.g. your assignment. There are a number of different referencing systems, but those most commonly used at Flinders University are: • Harvard (an author-date system) • APA (American Psychological Association, also an author-date system) • The Note system (including footnotes and endnotes). Author-date systems use the authors’ surnames and the year of publication within the text of a work to refer to a detailed list of full references at the end of the work. The Note system uses numbers within the text to refer to details either at the bottom of the page (footnotes) or at the end of the work (endnotes). See the Student Learning Centre (SLC) brochures on the APA and Note systems for details on these systems. Referencing and academic integrity The use of a referencing system to acknowledge other people’s work, ideas and expression is integral to academic writing and academic integrity. See SLC leaflets on Academic Integrity or the 'Academic Integrity...

...School of Management & Languages [pic] Referencing and Scholarship Scholarship It is important as a student at university to read as widely as possible around your subject. Your reading might include media and news but should, in particular, be informed by robust academic work. There are a number of primary objectives for academic reading: • To understand a theoretical concept • To develop broader understanding of a subject • To expand applied or practical knowledge of a subject • To understand alternative viewpoints so it is possible to compare and contrast ideas. Textbooks are acceptable reading for introductory courses and early years of study. In later years you will find that textbooks can provide the basis for understanding of an area of study. However, you are also expected to refer to current research published in academic journals. Do not confuse scholarly electronic sources with other kinds of information available on the web. Many web-based sources are useful, for example, the internet has excellent data about organisations (often written by the firms themselves). There is lots of valuable secondary data, such as economic/market/ population/etc. statistics from official and policy bodies. However, there are many dangers with relying on the internet for data. You must therefore use with caution. Examples of poor information on the web are: • open-source information, such as Wikipedia – these have...

Harvard referencing style has many varieties. This version has been developed to ensure conformity with the basic Harvard referencing conventions and in relation to feedback from HBS lecturers and students. Accurate referencing is ESSENTIAL because: 1) Your work must be ‘evidenced' with references to appropriate academic theory and practitioner experience. 2) Your reader must be able to see which ideas and words are your own and which are not. 3) Your lecturer must be able to check your sources and see which ones you have used to support your assertions. 4) Your lecturer needs to see if you have read and understood course material and how you have used the work of others to develop your own ideas. 5) Other readers might want to find and read some of the sources you have used. 6) If you do not reference, you might be accused of stealing the work/ideas of others - this is plagiarism.
