Introduction
Report on the correct use of Harvard referencing at the University of Sunderland
The Harvard reference system is one of the most commonly used systems. Harvard reference style is used in the academic environment to allow a writer to use ideas belonging to others to confirm his personal conclusion without plagiarism. Is used to give readers the information they need to easily find the source the writer has quoted. The writer can use different sources to get the information he needs for his academic work. The sources can be books, magazines, electronic sources and etc. The citation of different sources is done in a way that is specific to each sources.
How Harvard referencing system is used
1. Necessary citation information
a) Books
• The name of the author/ authors
• Year of publication
• Title of the book
• The order of publication
• Place of publishing
• The name of the publisher
b) Magazines
• The name of the author/authors
• Year of publication
• Title of the article
• Title of the magazine
• Page number
• Publication number of the magazine
c) Electronic sources
• Date of access to the source
• Web address or email
• Type of electronic source
2. Type of the citation in the text
a) Direct citation- Which is done in two ways
1. Direct citation of the author’s name in the text
• The reference to the author’s surname is written at the end of the sentence and in the brackets the year of publication.
Example: It is proper that the citation is done according to the rules generally accepted in the world practice. This view is supported by Penkova (2007).
• In the case of literal citation with quotes in the text after the year of publication, the page also indicated.
Example: Penkova (2007, p. 5) states that "some elements are mandatory for citation".
2.Direct citation of more authors and publications
• All authors write consistently with the years of the respective publications (chronologically, starting with the earliest publication)
Example: Ivanov (1996) and Petrov (1998) point out that "…".
1. Cite more than 3 authors per post
• The first author's surname is written, and then "et al."
Example: Morris et al. (2000, p. 47) states that "the debate on these particular issues should be left to the representative committees";
or
"There is no accepted international standard for citing electronic sources" (Petrova et al., 2002, p. 5).
2.Anonymous author citation
• Instead of the author's surname, the italic title of the publication (encyclopedia, departmental document, etc.) is written in italics, from which the quote is the same year and page.
3. Compile a list of used literature
It includes only sources that are quoted or paraphrased. The ordering of the posts starts at the beginning of the line and is in alphabetical order according to the author's surname. In the case of an anonymous author, the title of the publication is the first to be taken into account when ranking.
All sources are listed and numbered in this list regardless of their type / book, magazine, electronic medium. The sequencing of the information is generally the following:
• the family and initials of the author / authors, followed by a comma
• the year of publication followed by point
• the title of the publication, written in italics and followed by
• the eventual order of the publication, if not first, followed by a point
• Place of issue with a colon at the end
• Publishing, followed by point
