Harvard Referencing Quick Guide

Referencing involves four key elements:


 Paraphrasing
 Quoting
 Citations
 Bibliographies or Cited Works/Reference List

Paraphrasing
When you include the arguments, ideas, or theories of anyone other than yourself in your
assignment and put them into your own words, this is called paraphrasing. When
paraphrasing you will need to acknowledge the source you originally obtained the
information from by citing your source as close to the idea as possible..

Quoting
You may be more familiar with this element of referencing. When you include the exact
words of someone else’s work in your essay you are quoting. You must indicate that the
words you are using are not your own. To do, this you will either use speech marks or
single inverted commas around the words you are quoting. Whether you use speech marks
or single inverted commas depends on the referencing style you are using.
Citations
With each quotation or paraphrase that appears in your assignments there must be some
acknowledgement of where that information came from. In academic writing we call this
acknowledgement ‘a citation’. The form the citation takes will vary depending on the type
of referencing style you are using. In the Harvard referencing style, for example, we use
an in-text citation i.e. the citation appears within the sentences and paragraphs of your
assignment. This citation is a brief summary of the source used, noting the author’s
surname and/or a date/page number depending on the style you are using, surrounded by
round brackets (parentheses).
Bibliographies or Cited Works/Reference List
A bibliography or cited works/reference list provides full details of each source you have
used in your essay in alphabetical order. A bibliography is a list at the end of your work
containing all the sources you have consulted for your work, even if you have not made
direct mention to them in the text. A cited works/reference list is a list at the end of your
work which contains only the sources you have cited in the text of your work.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when attempting to present another person’s work as your own. When
you include the arguments, ideas, or theories of someone else without referencing them,
or use the exact words they have used and attempt to present them as your own
argument, then this is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism in written work can occur
intentionally (e.g. you copy a section from a book without referencing it) or
unintentionally (e.g. you paraphrase another person's work or ideas but fail to
acknowledge them as the source).

RefWorks
The University of Roehampton uses an online citation and reference management software
called RefWorks. It enables you to: import references from online resources such as
databases, library catalogue, etc; automatically generate reference lists/bibliographies in
a variety of styles, including Harvard Roehampton style; and add citations to Word
documents.
To access this software go to the Library’s Refworks page. Please contact your Librarian
for information about Refworks.
