DISCLAIMER
This resource has been developed by the LSU, CQU-SIC. It is not a substitute for the official CQU guide and should be used in conjunction with the official CQU guide and specific instructions in course profiles. The CQU official guide to referencing is available online at: http://www.cqu.edu.au/referencing .

LEARNING SKILLS UNIT TEACHING MATERIALS: HARVARD REFERENCING
Academic writing must use referencing. Harvard Referencing involves:
1. In-text Referencing, which provides information about the source material of direct quotations and paraphrases within the body of your assignment; and 2. Reference list of sources. This is an alphabetical list of all the books, articles and electronic sources that you have referred to within the body of your assignment. The Reference list is the final page of your assignment. Quotations and the Reference list are not included in your word count. Paraphrases can make up approximately 30-40% of your whole text. The rest of your text (60-70%) should be your own arguments or ‘point of view’ stated in your own words. You should develop this point of view by continuing study in lectures and tutorials, as well as wide reading of relevant source material in the form of journal articles, textbooks, websites, study guides and so on. Avoid Plagiarism: You must acknowledge the source of your information. If you copy the words, phrases, sentences or paragraphs of another author without indicating that these words are quotations, then you are plagiarising. If you take an idea from another author without referencing the paraphrase, then you are plagiarising. If you do not acknowledge the source of your information, this may be seen as plagiarism: you will be awarded 0 marks, you will fail your assignment and it may lead to your expulsion from the University. Footnotes and endnotes: Footnotes are explanations of details or comments about a particular point that are placed at the bottom of the page. They are used in order to avoid distracting the reader from the flow of information in the text. Use superscripts to signal footnotes, like this1 :
1

To make superscript in Word, highlight the numeral and under Font tick the superscript box. Alternatively you can use the Insert Reference function on Word. Endnotes differ from footnotes in that they are grouped at the end of the book, chapter or article.

1. In-text referencing
   You must provide an in-text reference for all direct quotations and paraphrases. All in-text references need the name/s of the author/s and year of publication. Direct quotations (or ‘quotes’) also need a page number.

1



The purpose of in-text referencing is to lead the reader to the full details of the source text given in the Reference list: In-text reference for quotation (Nash 1990, p. 24) (with a page number).
Nash, R 1990, The rights of nature, Primavera Press, Sydney.

Reference list entry

Note about author/s: There may be more than one author of a source (or text), or the author may be a corporation, organisation or Government Department. For individual author/s, use the family name/s only for an in-text reference. If there is no author, use the Journal Title for an online article, the ‘Web page title’ or the Website title (if no Web page), or the ‘Article title’ for a printed journal or magazine article. 1.1 Direct quotations   Copying the words from a source (book/journal/website etc.) A direct quotation requires the name of author/s (family name/s only for individual/s), year of publication and page number. (See note above about author/s.)

For short quotations (quotations less than 30 words)  Use single quotation marks around the quotations and then follow with your in-text reference, which includes author/s, year and page number in brackets  Incorporate the quote into your sentence by beginning the sentence with your own words:
Evidence suggests that ‘writing pedagogy may be successfully integrated into instruction within a particular discipline area’ (Allen & Rochecouste 1997, p. 12).

Alternatively, you may refer to the author/s in the sentence and include the year and page number in the brackets that follow:
Allen and Rochecouste (1997, p. 12) suggest that ‘writing pedagogy may be successfully integrated into instruction within a particular discipline area’.

For long quotations (quotations longer than 30 words)  Start on a new line and do not use quotation marks.  Use a smaller font size (eg. font size 11 if your main font size is 12).  Indent 1 cm from right and left margins.
Anorexia nervosa can be defined as follows:
Anorexia nervosa is a disorder characterized by deliberate weight loss, induced and/or sustained by the patient. The disorder occurs most commonly in adolescent girls and young women, but adolescent boys and young men may be affected more rarely (World Health Organization 1992, pp. 24-25)

1. 2 Paraphrasing   Paraphrasing means summarising information in your own words. You can either provide an in-text reference directly after the information with the name/s of author/s (see note about author/s at top of page) and year of publication,
However, context will need to be considered when choosing between two or more equally accurate variants (Raimes 1990).

or include the author’s name in the sentence and place the year in the brackets.
However, as Raimes (1990) argues, context will need to be considered when choosing between two or more equally accurate variants.

1.3 In-text referencing for Web pages of Websites      Look for the author/s – this may be one or more people, a company, an organisation or a Government Department. If there is no author, write the ‘Document or Page title’ in single quotation marks. If this is unavailable, write the Title of the website in italics. Include the year of publication or last update. This may be at the bottom of the page, often near a copyright symbol ©. If there is no date, write ‘n.d.’. If necessary, indicate page numbers by using, for example, page 3 of 4. To see the page numbers, click on [File] then [Print Preview] while in Internet Explorer. Do not use the URL (web address) for your in-text reference.
Fosters is ‘one of the world’s leading brewers and wine producers, employing more than 14,000 people’ (Fosters 2000, p. 3 of 4). As shown on ‘Famili Kami’ (n.d.), family photos can be posted on the Internet.

1.4 Multiple authors of a text   Authors should be listed in the order they appear on the title page. If two or three authors, include all authors’ family names when you refer to the text. If writing the authors’ names in the brackets, use ‘&’ between the last and second last names in your in-text reference. If including the authors’ names in the sentence, use ‘and’ between the last and second last names.
It has been argued that E-commerce makes the issue of international business law more complex (Zugelder, Flaherty & Johnson 2000). Wright and Noe (1996) explain that organisational structure needs to support the organisation’s strategy in order to maintain competitive advantage.



If four or more authors, use the author’s name that appears first on the title page + ‘et al.’ (and others). For example, the four authors of Management: A Pacific Rim Focus, 2nd edn, are Bartol, Martin, Tein and Matthews, but only the first author’s name + ‘et al.’ is used in the in-text reference:
3

In more diverse organisations, change tends to occur more slowly and allows the various functions to coordinate their activities (Bartol et al. 1998).



If there are several texts with the same first author, all authors should be given in-text to avoid confusion. (Do not use ‘et al.’ in this case.)

1. 5 Multiple works by the same author Multiple works by the same author, but published in different years are listed chronologically, oldest first.  Multiple works by the same author that are published in the same year are distinguished by adding letters (a, b, c, d, etc.) to the year. The letter added to each work is determined by the alphabetical order in the Reference list, so Felstead (2000a) will appear before Felstead (2000b). 1. 6 More than one source for the same idea  Name the author and year of each source, and separate them by a semicolon in the intext reference, or refer to them separately. (Alphabetise according to authors’ names.)
Various studies (Blakely 1993; Johnson 1995; Larsen 1995) have shown that . . . Blakely (1993), Johnson (1995) and Larsen (1995) have shown that . . .



1.7 Unpublished sources: print materials  Lecture handouts/print materials (unpublished) You need to include details of Lecture handouts both in the Reference list and in-text. Write the Lecturer’s name and/or the year in brackets.
It is expected the first teaching day may result in mixed emotions (Thompson 2001).



Papers presented at a conference or seminar (unpublished) You need to include details of presenter’s notes both in the Reference list and in-text. Write the author’s name and/or the year + ‘unpub.’ in brackets.
According to Callaghan, McPhail and Yau (1994, unpub.) there is… It has been suggested (Callaghan, McPhail & Yau 1994, unpub.) that …

1.8 Unpublished sources: Lecturer’s statements and non-print materials  You do not need to include non-print lecture materials in the Reference list but you MUST include the following details in-text: Lecturer’s full name, Unit name, Place of presentation, and full date.
In a lecture, Introductory Science 52613, presented at Central Queensland University, Mackay, on 17 April 2001, Dr J. Watson suggested that…. Dr Jean Watson (Lecture in Introductory Science 52613, presented at Central Queensland University, Mackay, on 17 April 2001) suggested that …

1. 9 Unpublished sources: personal communication (e.g. discussion, e-mail, or interview)  This includes discussion with managers, lecturers, experts and so on.  Personal communications are not included in the Reference list, but MUST be referenced in-text, including the name, full date and description of the communication.
In an e-mail communication on 6 March 2001, Geoff Dixon, Chief Executive Officer of Qantas, explained … Evidence given (Dixon, G 2001, email, 5 March) … In an interview conducted on 19 July 1999, Dr B. Brown said … Evidence given (Petty, H 1999, pers. comm., 17 July) …

1.10 Secondary source: the author you are reading refers to another author  Sometimes you may be reading a source that refers to the idea of another author (‘primary source’). The source you are using is then called a ‘secondary source’.  If you wish to refer to this idea, you must use both sources in your in-text referencing, but include only the secondary source (that you are reading) in the Reference list. primary source – intext only
Stone (1983, cited in Woods, Rowan & McGrath 2001, pp. 7-6) stated that… However, ‘the length and structure of the sentences used determines rhythm in prose’ (Stone 1983, cited in Woods, Rowan & McGrath 2001, pp. 7-6). secondary source –

1.11 Abbreviations edition: edn editor: ed. 1.12 Minimal capitalisation      editors: eds no date: n.d. volume: vol. issue number: no.

include in Reference list page: p. pages: pp.

Unless otherwise directed in your course profile, use minimal capitalisation. Capitalise only the first word in the title of a book, chapter or journal article. Do not capitalise the word following a colon (:) unless it is a proper noun. Capitalise authors’ names and initials and Publishing Firms. Use maximal capitalisation for titles of Journals, Magazines and Newspapers (Periodicals): capitalise every word in the title apart from conjunctions (but, and, or), prepositions (for, of, on, to) and articles (a, an, the).

1.13 An example of in-text referencing year author’s family name

paraphrase

quote – using single quotation marks

The essay in its traditional form has a simple structure: introduction, body, and conclusion. It is expected to be written in Standard English with grammatical accuracy. However, as Raimes (1990) argues, context will need to be considered when choosing between two or more equally accurate variants. Evidence suggests that ‘writing pedagogy may be successfully integrated into instruction within a particular discipline area’ (Allen & Rochecouste 1997, p. 12). page number for quotation Teachers may find it worthwhile to encourage students to work towards distant as well as immediate goals. That students will need competent communication skills in their future professional lives has been emphasised by numerous professional bodies. Introducing students to entertaining ways of extending their own knowledge may provide additional motivation. For example, there are resources now available, which encourage independent learning (NCELTR 2000).

no page number for paraphrase

NCELTR is the acronym or abbreviation for the National Centre for English Language Teaching and Research, which is the organization or author being referred to. In the Reference list this text will be shown as: National Centre for English Language Teaching and Research (NCELTR) 2000, ‘Resource Centre: ESL on the Net’, NCELTR, viewed 24 March 2001, http://www.nceltr.mq.edu.au/eslnet.htm .

2. The Reference list
2.1 General rules to follow when writing a Reference list:    Start a new page. This is the final page of your assignment and it provides all the details necessary to locate the sources referred to in your assignment. The title Reference list should be in the same font size as your text (12pt), but bold, and justified to the left margin. Most entries should begin with the Family name/s of the author/s, or the author may be an Organisation, Company or Government Department. If there is no author (no person/s, Organisation, Company nor Government named), check the table below to find the order of information for the type of text you are using. List sources/texts in alphabetical order. Use single line spacing and separate each reference with a single line space. Unless otherwise directed, use Minimal Capitalisation: see 1.12 on page 6. Use italics for the names of published materials, such as book titles, journal titles, newspaper titles and website titles. Use single quotation marks for the names of chapters, articles, and web pages. Do not use italics or quotation marks for unpublished print sources such as Lecture notes and papers presented at a conference or seminar. Do not add ‘Co.’, ‘Inc.’ or ‘Pty Ltd’ to the name of the publisher ‘Source’ means the text (book, journal article, web site, etc.) you are using. Sources that are not referred to in your assignment are not included in the Reference list. You can list other research materials used in preparation, but not cited in your assignment, in a Bibliography, which is presented using the same format as a Reference list. You should only use a Bibliography if requested.

Sarvananda, S 1998, ‘Out with rote learning, in with creative thinking’, This extract is the part of the article that you found Inter Press Service, 15 April, p.1. relevant for an assignment you are doing.

In its overhaul of their education system, Singapore is veering away from the current system that puts too much emphasis on paper-learning and regurgitation of facts, and too little on individual reasoning and creativity. Through a program called "Vision," the education ministry seeks to implement a two-stage scheme to encourage critical thinking. The first stage will involve, from next year onwards, a decrease in the workload of students in secondary schools and junior colleges by 10 to 30 percent. Parts of the syllabi deemed superfluous or irrelevant to real-world situations will be cut. More changes away from rote learning will be made in the year 2001, the second or "curriculum" stage. Officials hope these reforms will produce students that are confident of relying on their thinking, reasoning and creative skills for answers, instead of being heavily dependent on books or spoon-fed by teachers. Such students should turn out to be efficient and quality workers in an information-based society later on, they say.

Notes
Sarvananda, S 1998, ‘Out with rote learning, in with creative thinking’, Inter Press Service, 15 April, p. 1.

 Singapore – change in education (education ministry) – “Vision” program.  ‘Spoon-fed’, ‘paper-learning’ (synonym: rote learning)  reasoning (synonym: logic), creative and critical thinking

Paraphrase
By introducing a new program called “Vision” in secondary schools and junior colleges, Singapore’s education ministry aims to improve students’ critical thinking (Sarvananda 1998). This program attempts to shift the emphasis in education away from rote learning facts. According to Sarvananda (1998), students will instead be encouraged to think logically, critically and creatively.

Strategic Management

...Strategic management is a field that deals with the major intended and emergent initiatives taken by general managers on behalf of owners, involving utilization of resources, to enhance the performance of firms in their external environments.[1] It entails specifying the organization's mission, vision and objectives, developing policies and plans, often in terms of projects and programs, which are designed to achieve these objectives, and then allocating resources to implement the policies and plans, projects and programs. A balanced scorecard is often used to evaluate the overall performance of the business and its progress towards objectives. Recent studies and leading management theorists have advocated that strategy needs to start with stakeholders expectations and use a modified balanced scorecard which includes all stakeholders. Strategic management is a level of managerial activity under setting goals and over Tactics. Strategic management provides overall direction to the enterprise and is closely related to the field of Organization Studies. In the field of business administration it is useful to talk about "strategic alignment" between the organization and its environment or "strategic consistency." According to Arieu (2007), "there is strategic consistency when the actions of an organization are consistent with the expectations of management, and these in turn are with the market and the context." Strategic management includes not only the management team but can...

...1.0 WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT? Strategic management consists of the analyses, decisions and actions an organization undertakes in order to create and sustain competitive advantages. The strategic management process is made up of four elements: situation analysis, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy evaluation. These elements are steps that are performed, in order, when developing a new strategic management plan. Situation Analysis The situation analysis provides the information necessary to create a company mission statement. Situation analysis involves "scanning and evaluating the organizational context, the external environment, and the organizational environment" (Coulter, 2005). This analysis can be performed using several techniques. Observation and communication are two very effective methods. To begin this process, organizations should observe the internal company environment. This includes employee interaction with other employees, employee interaction with management, manager interaction with other managers, and management interaction with shareholders. In addition, discussions, interviews, and surveys can be used to analyse the internal environment. Organizations also need to analyse the external environment. This would include customers, suppliers, creditors, and competitors. Several questions can be asked which may help analyse the external environment. It examines the company’s relationship with its customers and...

Basic Financial Planning consists of managers putting of activities for weeks while the planning process is place to gather ideas to be used within a proposed budget. An evaluation is completed based on historic sales figures as well as the current environmental information. The budget is a short term budget used to get through one year of planning. Forecasting Based Planning, or long term planning, consists of budgets being created that expand for three to five years. This requires extensive planning based off current market information and stretched out over a given future time period. Many endless meetings take place in order to balance out the budget. Externally Oriented Planning is the stage where the top management takes over the planning. The budget is handed off and re-evaluated.

...Elizabeth Huhn MGT/498-Strategic Management The Strategic Management Process Peter Braverso February 17, 2014 Strategic Management is necessary and integral part of every business, from small start-ups to large corporations. “Strategic management emphasizes long-term performance” (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010) There are different phases to the strategic management process. Phase one is the basic financial planning, which consists of planning out the following year's budget. Phase two is forecast-based planning which may include a five-year plan and environmental data. Phase three is focused on external concerns; “...seeks to increase responsiveness to changing markets and competition by thinking strategically.” (Wheelen & Hunger, 2010) Outside consultants may be used in this phase of the strategic process. All of these phases contribute to a smoother running organization and emphasize communication and clear roles within the organization. “...The real value of modern strategic planning is more in the strategic thinking and organizational learning that is part of a future-oriented planning process than in any resulting written strategic plan.” Starbucks Coffee Company is a prime example of effective strategic planning. Starbucks has a longer list of strengths than weaknesses, although a longer list of threats than opportunities, there is awareness of these threats. Among its strengths, sound financial records tops the list, followed by being the...

The IPI is one of the largest and most advanced among the developing countries. It is the 4th largest by volume i.e. around 8 percent and 11th largest in terms of value i.e. around 1.5 percent.

Since the nature of competition is different in the current competitive landscape, those making strategic decisions must adopt a different mind-set, which allows them to learn how to compete in highly turbulent & chaotic(disorganized) environments that produce a great deal of uncertainty.

In 80s and 90s Nokia expanded through the acquisition of many other companies with various technologies. Due to this rapid expansion, Nokia lost focus of its ingenuity in wireless communications. However Nokia reorganized by selling most of its businesses which were not performing well and directed its focus once again to its wireless technologies. Acquisition of Sega in 2003 and then merger with Siemens AB in 2006 put Nokia once again in a place where it could compete its rivals. RIM’s blackberry and Apple’s iPhone are the major rivals and have a large market share from business users and consumers. * According to Nokia’s business strategy; the winning strategy is based upon the following factors.
