The Harvard style (also known as the ‘author-date system’) is the most commodiously style of referencing worldwide. Citing references is a way of letting your reader know where you found your information. It is standard academic practice and you must do this in all your assignments. We use the term “citing” as a quick way of referring to citing references, but there are actually two inter-related parts in the process. Citation A citation is essentially a marker you put in your text to show that you are referring to a source, for example, you may have given a direct quotation or summarized the ideas from the source.
The marker you use links to the reference. Reference A reference gives full details about a source you have cited in your text. References are listed, in alphabetical order, at the end of your assignment, before any appendices. Referencing is an essential part of academic scholarship, and ethical values demand that authors identify the sources used in their work. You are referencing in order to: Acknowledge an intellectual debt to another author where you have drawn from his or her published work or ideas, either explicitly or implicitly.
To support specific facts or claims which you make in your text. Failure to identify sources upon which you draw is plagiarism, a serious academic offense.

Citing – Referring to or summarizing an author’s viewpoint in your text If you are referring to the general theme of the book, page numbers are unnecessary. If the author’s surname occurs naturally in the text, the year follows in round brackets. If not, insert the name and year in round brackets at the end, e. G. : Carlson (1981) obtained results which… In a recent study (Carlson 1990)… Where you are quoting or referring to figures or data, page numbers must be included , e. G. : Chon (1991, p. 7) found that “several factors contributed to the emergence of professional pluralism” which shows that… In some professions, awareness of uncertainty, complexity, instability, uniqueness, and value conflict has led to the emergence of professional pluralism (Chon 1991, p. 7).
