NOTES FROM COMPILERS AND CHANGES INTRODUCED TO SECOND EDITION………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. 39 http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 3 Anglia Ruskin University 1. 1. 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION Explanation of citation and referencing During the course of writing an essay, report or other assignment it is usual to support arguments by reference to other published work.
These references may be from work presented in journal or newspaper articles, government reports, books or specific chapters of books, research dissertations or theses, material over the internet etc. Citation is the practice of referring to the work of other authors in the text of your own piece of work. Such works are cited to show evidence both of the background reading that has been done and to support the content and conclusions. Each citation requires a reference at the end of the work; this gives the full details of the source item and should enable it to be traced.
Referring accurately to such source materials is part of sound academic practice and a skill that should be mastered. Other reasons for accurate citation and referencing are: ¦ To give credit to the concepts and ideas of other authors ¦ To provide the reader (often the marker/examiner of the assignment) with evidence of the breadth and depth of your reading ¦ To enable those who read your work to locate the cited references easily Remember to note the details of all the documents you read The following pages give detailed guidance for various types of documents as there are major differences between books, journal articles and websites.
These are based on consultation with colleagues at Anglia Ruskin University, with examples, in red, for illustrative purposes. 1. 2 Plagiarism Plagiarism is passing off the work of others as your own. This constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter which is penalised in assignment marking. The following extract is from the Anglia Ruskin University Academic Regulations (2008) For full details see: Anglia Ruskin University. 2008. Anglia Ruskin University Academic Regulations. online] 2nd edition. Revised July 2009. (Section 10. 7) Available at: http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 4 Anglia Ruskin University 10. 7 Plagiarism and collusion are common forms of assessment offence. They are defined as follows: Plagiarism 10. 7. 1 Plagiarism is the submission of an item of assessment containing elements of work produced by another person(s) in such a way that it could be assumed to be the student’s own work.
Examples of plagiarism are: • the verbatim copying of another person’s work without acknowledgement • the close paraphrasing of another person’s work by simply changing a few words or altering the order of presentation without acknowledgement • the unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another person’s work and/or the presentation of another person’s idea(s) as one’s own. Copying or close paraphrasing with occasional acknowledgement of the source may also be deemed to be plagiarism if the absence of quotation marks implies that the phraseology is the student’s own.
Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a published source such as a book, report, journal or material available on the internet. 1. 3 Referencing systems There are a number of systems for the citation of references. Anglia Ruskin University expects students to use the alphabetical/name-date system, in a particular style, known as the Harvard style. In this, for a book, the author’s surname and year of publication are cited in the text, e. g. Bond, 2004) and a reference list (of these citations) is included at the end of the assignment, in alphabetical order by authorship with date. This reference list will also include the full details of the document. A bibliography lists relevant items that you have used in the preparation of the assignment but not necessarily cited in your text. If you include a bibliography in your work, this should also be in the Harvard style and will demonstrate that you have read widely.
As in Faculty regulations may differ in the use of bibliographies and reference lists, students are advised to check with their Faculty. http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 5 Anglia Ruskin University 2. CITING REFERENCES INTEXT using the Harvard System An intext reference should include the authorship and the year of the work to which is being referred. Depending on the nature of the sentence/paragraph that is being written, references to sources may be cited in the text in the following manner: 2. 1 Author’s name cited in the text
When making reference to an author’s work in your text, their name is followed by the year of publication of their work: In general, when writing for a professional publication, it is good practice to make reference to other relevant published work. This view has been supported in the work of Cormack (1994). Where you are mentioning a particular part of the work, and making direct reference to this, a page reference should be included: Cormack (1994, pp. 32-33) states that ‘when writing for a professional readership, writers invariably make reference to already published works’. 2. 2
Author’s name not cited directly in the text If you make reference to a work or piece of research without mentioning the author in the text then both the author’s name and publication year are placed at the relevant point in the sentence or at the end of the sentence in brackets: Making reference to published work appears to be characteristic of writing for a professional audience (Cormack, 1994). 2. 3 More than one author cited in the text Where reference is made to more than one author in a sentence, and they are referred to directly, they are both cited: Jones (1946) and Smith (1948) have both shown … ttp://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 6 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 4 More than one author not cited directly in the text List these at the relevant point in the sentence (or at the end of the sentence), putting the author’s name, followed by the date of publication and separated by a semi-colon and within brackets. Where several publications from a number of authors are referred to, then the references should be cited in chronological order (i. e. earliest first): Further research in the late forties (Jones, 1946; Smith, 1948) led to major developments … (Collins, 1998; Brown, 2001; Davies, 2008) . 5 Two, three or four authors for the same work When there are two authors for a work they should both be noted in the text: White and Brown (2004) in their recent research paper found … with regard to PREP and the role of libraries, Crane and Urquhart (1994) suggest … or indirectly, using an and: During the mid nineties research undertaken in Luton (Slater and Jones, 1996) showed that … or Earlier research (White and Brown, 1966) demonstrated that the presence of certain chemicals would lead to … 2. 6 More than four authors for a work
Where there are several authors (more than four), only the first author should be used, followed by ‘et al. ‘ meaning and others: Green, et al. (1995) found that the majority … or indirectly: Recent research (Green, et al. , 1995)has found that the majority of … http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 7 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 7 Several works by one author in different years If more than one publication from an author illustrates the same point and the works are published in different years, then the references should be cited in chronological order (i. . earliest first): as suggested by Bloggs (1992, 1994) who found that … or indirectly: research in the nineties (Bloggs 1992, 1994) found that … 2. 8 Several works by one author in the same year If you are quoting several works published by the same author in the same year, they should be differentiated by adding a lower case letter directly, with no space, after the year for each item: Earlier research by Dunn (1993a) found that…but later research suggested again by Dunn (1993b) that …
If several works published in the same year are referred to on a single occasion, or an author has made the same point in several publications, they can all be referred to by using lower case letters (as above): Bloggs (1993a, b) has stated on more than one occasion that … 2. 9 Chapter authors in edited works References to the work of an author that appears as a chapter, or part of a larger work, that is edited by someone else, should be cited within your text using the name of the contributory author not the editor of the whole work.
In his work on health information, Smith (1975) states … In the reference list at the end of your document, you should include details of both the chapter author and the editor of the entire work (See Section 3. 2. 4 Chapters of edited books for further details). http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 8 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 10 Corporate authors If the work is by a recognised organisation and has no personal author then it is usually cited under the body that commissioned the work. This applies to publications by associations, companies, government departments etc. uch as Department of the Environment or Royal College of Nursing. It is acceptable to use standard abbreviations for these bodies, eg. RCN, in your text, providing that the full name is given at the first citing with the abbreviation in brackets: 1st citation: … research in 2006 undertaken by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has shown that … 2nd citation: More recently the RCN (2007) has issued guidelines … Note that the full name is the preferred format in the reference list. Some reports are written by specially convened groups or committees and can be cited by the name of the ommittee: Committee on Nursing (1972) Select Committee on Stem Cell Research (2002) Note there are some exceptions to this such as BBC Philharmonic Orchestra BBC News where the abbreviations or initials form part of the official name. 2. 11 No author If the author cannot be identified use ‘Anonymous’ or ‘Anon. ‘ and the title of the work and date of publication. The title should be written in italics. Every effort should be made to establish the authorship if you intend to use this work as supporting evidence in an academic submission: Marketing strategy (Anon. 1999) http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 9 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 12 No date The abbreviation n. d. is used to denote this: Smith (n. d. ) has written and demonstrated … or indirectly: Earlier research (Smith, n. d. ) demonstrated that … Every effort should be made to establish the year of publication if you intend to use this work as supporting evidence in an academic submission. See also Section 7 References with missing details 2. 13 Page numbers Including the page numbers of a reference will help readers trace your sources.
This is particularly important for quotations and for paraphrasing specific paragraphs in the texts: Lawrence (1966, p. 124) states “we should expect …” or indirectly: This is to be expected (Lawrence, 1966, p. 124) … Please note page numbers: preceded with p. for a single page. and pp. for a range of pages 2. 14 Quoting portions of published text If you want to include text from a published work in your essay then the sentence(s) must be included within quotation marks, and may be introduced by such phrases as: the author states that “…….. or the author writes that “…….. ” http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 10 Anglia Ruskin University In order for a reader to trace the quoted section it is good practice to give the number of the page where the quotation was found. The quotation should also be emphasized (especially if it runs to 50 words or more) by indenting it and using quotation marks. This clearly identifies the quotation as the work of someone else: On the topic of professional writing and referencing Cormack (1994, p. 2) states: ‘When writing for a professional readership, writers invariably make reference to already published works’. For full details on the acceptable length of quotes see Anglia Ruskin University Academic Regulations (full reference see page 4). 2. 15 Secondary sources (second-hand references) You may come across a summary of another author’s work in the source you are reading, which you would like to make reference to in your own document; this is called secondary referencing.
A direct reference: Research recently carried out in the Greater Manchester area by Brown (1966 cited in Bassett, 1986, p. 142) found that … In this example, Brown is the work which you wish to refer to, but have not read directly for yourself. Bassett is the secondary source, where you found the summary of Brown’s work. Or indirectly: (Brown, 1966 cited in Bassett, 1986, p. 142) In the example below White is the primary or original source and Black is the secondary source. It is important to realise that Black may have taken White’s ideas forward, and altered their original meaning.
If you need to cite a secondary reference it is recommended that, where possible, you read the original source for yourself rather than rely on someone else’s interpretation of a work. White, (1990) as cited in Black (1994), suggests that … The reference list at the end of your document should only contain works that you have read http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 11 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 16 Tables and diagrams When reproducing selected data, or copying an entire table or diagram, a reference must be made to the source. A reference within the text to a table taken from eg. book, should include the author and page (Smith, 2005, p. 33) to enable the reader to identify the data. If the source of the data is not the author’s own, but obtained from another source, it becomes a secondary reference and needs to be cited as such: (United Nations, 1975 cited in Smith, 2005, p. 33) If the table is reproduced in its entirety, place the citation as a footnote. Be particularly careful to note the original source of data, as well as the authorship of the document you are using. Full details should be included in the reference list.
In the following example, a table is reproduced from page 267, of a book written by Robert Amazon which is the 4th edition and published by FT Prentice Hall of Harlow, England in 2005. The title of the book is Management in the media: decision makers. ¦ If you wish to reproduce the table in your own work – replicate the table Television ownership in England (Percentage of households) Date Percentage 1970 60 1980 70 Source : National Statistics Office, 1985 * and add a Footnote – at the bottom of the page in your own work acknowledging the source of the reproduced table. National Statistics Office 1985 cited in Amazon, 2005, p. 267 ¦ If you wish to quote from a table in the above book in your essay: … historical figures demonstrate that only sixty percent of households had televisions in Britain by the 1970s (National Statistics Office 1985 cited in Amazon, 2005, p. 267). ¦ Ensure you include the book in the reference list or bibliography at the end of your work: Amazon, R. , 2005. Management in the media: decision makers. 4th ed. Harlow: FT Prentice Hall. http://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 12 Anglia Ruskin University 2. 17 Websites
When citing material found on a website, you should identify the authorship of the website. This may be a corporate author, an organisation or a company; a guide to this can be found by looking at the URL or web address. To find the date of publication, reference to this might be found at the bottom of a web page relating to copyright, or from a date headline. This is NOT the article date but today’s date – check the bottom of the page This is the published or amended date In this example the authorship would be BBC and the date 2009. Recent research on meningitis (BBC, 2009) has shown … ttp://libweb. anglia. ac. uk/referencing/harvard. htm 13 Anglia Ruskin University 3. 3. 1 COMPILING THE REFERENCE LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY General guidelines, layout and punctuation The purpose of a reference list is to enable sources to be easily traced by another reader. Different types of publication require different amounts of information but there are certain common elements such as authorship, year of publication and title. Section 7 deals with references where some of the details are unknown. The Harvard style lays down standards for the order and content of information in the reference.
Some variations of layout are acceptable provided that they are used consistently. All items should be listed alphabetically by author or authorship, regardless of the format, ie. whether books, websites or journal articles etc. Where there are several works from one author or source they should by listed together but in date order, with the earliest work listed first. 3. 2 3. 2. 1 Books Books with one author Use the title page, not the book cover, for the reference details. Only include the edition where it is not the first. A book with no edition statement is most commonly a first edition.
The required elements for a book reference are: Author, Initials. , Year. Title of book. Edition. (only include this if not the first edition) Place of publication (this must be a town or city, not a country): Publisher. Reference where 1st edition Baron, D. P. , 2008.

Remember that this must also be consistent with the citations in the text For multiple works the required elements for a reference are: Author, Initials. , Year. Title of book. Place: Publisher Soros, G. , 1966a. The road to serfdom. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. Soros, G. , 1966b. Beyond the road to serfdom. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. Works by the same author should be displayed in chronological order, earliest first (as above). An intext reference for the above example would read: (Soros, 1966a) (Soros, 1966b) This also applies if there are several authors with the same surname.
As an alternative their initials can be included in the citation. So for example, if you have sources written by George Soros and also by Manuel Soros, you would list them in alphabetic order: (Soros, G. 1966a) (Soros, G. 1966b) (Soros, M. 1966) 3. 2. 7 Books which have been translated For works which have been translated the reference should include details of the translator, the suggested elements for such references being: Author, Year.
