Referencing Today you are going to create references using the Harvard Style (sometimes called the Author/Date style)

Harvard Referencing System Harvard referencing uses the author and the date of the work in the main body of the text, and then has a reference list at the end of the essay which contains the references cited in alphabetical order by author. The reference list contains the full details of the book or journal cited. Because you only refer to a shortened form of works in the main essay (author, date) your essay doesn't get filled with too much reference material.

Body of the text Reference list

Referencing Books Surname, Initial. (Year) Title. (edition) Place of publication: Publisher The book title can be in italics or underlined. However you must be consistent throughout your work. McFluff, J. (2001) Brief history of underpants. (2 nd ed) London: Open University Press
