3 WHAT IS A CITATION? When you use another person’s work in your own work, either by referring to their ideas, or by including a direct quotation, you must acknowledge this in the text of your work. This acknowledgement is called a citation. When you are using the Harvard style, your citation should include: 1. The author or editor of the cited work 2. The year of publication of the cited work

4 What Is Referencing Referencing is a standardised method of formatting the information sources you have used in your assignments or written work. Any given referencing style serves two purposes: acknowledges the source allows the reader to trace the source.

5 Why is it important? Referencing...

8 Referencing styles There are several different styles of referencing:
APA MLA Harvard Oxford Chicago Each style has its own rules for properly citing sources. Author-date styles (e.g. APA, MLA, and Harvard) put the author's name inside the text of the assignment Documentary-note styles (e.g. Chicago and Oxford) put the author's name in a footnote at the bottom of each page, or in an endnote at the end of the assignment

12 In-text citations In-text citation of a book (the same format applies for a journal article):Note that there is no punctuation between the author's surname and the year of publication.

15 HOW DO I WRITE CITATIONS USING THE HARVARD STYLE?
Citing one author A recent study investigated the effectiveness of using Google Scholar to find medical research (Henderson, 2005). or Henderson (2005) has investigated the effectiveness of Google Scholar in finding medical research. Citing two or three authors Recent research indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is increasing (Arrami & Garner, 2008). Evidence shows that providing virtual laboratory exercises as well as practical laboratory experience enhances the learning process (Barros, Read & Verdejo, 2008).

16 Citing four or more authors
Social acceptance of carbon capture and storage is necessary for the introduction of technologies (van Alphen et al, 2007). Citing works by the same author written in the same year(edited books) facts and research is inaccurate (Goldacre, 2008a; Goldacre, 2008b). Citing from chapters written by different authors Some books may contain chapters written by different authors. When citing work from such a book, the author who wrote the chapter should be cited, not the editor of the book.

17 Citing a direct quotation
If a direct quote from a book, article, etc., is used you must: Simons, Menzies and Matthews (2001) state that the principle of effective stress is ‘imperfectly known and understood by many practicing engineers’ (p.4). Citing an image/illustration/table/diagram/photograph/figure/picture In-text citation: Table illustrating checklist of information for common sources (Pears and Shields, 2008:p.22). or ‘Geological map of the easternmost region of São Nicolau’ (Ramalho et al, 2010:p.532).

18 Citing from multimedia works
your citation should use the title that you identify as the author. Citing from an interview or personal communication Always use the surname of the interviewee/practitioner as the author.
