HARVARD REFERENCING STYLE
Harvard referencing style is a method used to demonstrate to your readers that you have conducted a thorough and appropriate literature search, and reading using an ‘author-date’ approach.
It involves two parts: citation and the reference list.
Citation is the using of another person’s work in your own work, either by referring to their ideas, or by including a direct quotation which must be acknowledged in the text of ones work.
There are a number of rules relating to citations depending on the number of authors of a work, and if you are citing a quotation. Examples:
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
If the work has two or three authors, include all names in your citation.
Recent research indicates that the number of duplicate papers being published is increasing (Arrami & Garner, 2008).
