It emphasises the name of the creator of a piece of information and the date of publication, with the list of references in alphabetical order at the end of your piece of work.

This guide provides examples of how a wide range of information sources should be referenced according to the Harvard style, including the order of the elements and possible punctuation to be used. For each source there are examples of how to cite within the text and how to write your list of references.

...The APA style is based on the Harvard referencing system whereby the date of publication follows the author name(s) and intext references refer to items in the bibliography using the author surname and date of publication, in brackets. Referencing is important in all academic work as it indicates to the reader the sources of your quotations and borrowed ideas. Failure to indicate your sources could easily be taken for plagiarism (literary theft). The purpose of the referencing system is to describe your sources in an accurate and consistent manner and to indicate within the text of your paper where particular sources were used. Don’t get caught out! • • Keep a careful note of all sources used as you prepare your assignments. Record all the details you need about a library book (including page numbers) before you return it – someone else may have the book if you try to go back and check later. Make sure you write down the source details you need on any photocopies you make. Remember to print or save details of any website you want to refer to (your tutor may ask to see this) and record the date when you accessed the information. Make sure you are following the referencing system used in your department. • • • Arrangement of reference list/ bibliography at end of essay • Your reference list/bibliography should be arranged alphabetically by author surname.

...HBS CASE Guide to Harvard Referencing University of Hertfordshire Hertfordshire Business School Centre for Academic Skills Enhancement (CASE) Harvard Referencing Guide This updated guide has been produced by CASE Academic Advisers to promote accurate Harvard referencing in the Business School. 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. Revised: 03/10/14 1 © HBS CASE, 2014.

If you are laughing loudly so it is actually that you are laughing. This would be the stupid and pointless. There are many problems in text speak. The other disadvantage is that many people having the different acronym for different words i.e. some people take out the meaning of lol as laugh out a lot or some take out the learning on low.

Referencing is also necessary because it prevents you from ‘plagiarising’ which can lead to an automatic fail result. Plagiarism is using someone else’s thoughts, words or ideas and writing them as if they were your own. It is technically stealing and is a breach of ethics. Referencing tells the reader where the original idea can be found. What should be referenced? Anything that you have read or heard that has influenced your writing: • A concept or idea • A paraphrased quote • A direct quote • Personal communication • Class notes • Script or screenplay • A contestable argument General knowledge does not need to be referenced, for example: Canberra is the capital of Australia. But if you read that ‘The Yass – Canberra plains were chosen because of the snow in Dalgety …’ this would have to be referenced. A contestable argument that would need to be referenced may be: It is a fact that Lady Denman, rather than the Surveyor Scrivener actually proclaimed the name Canberra. In-text...
