    Introduction

    The purpose of this guide is to provide a consistent approach to citing andreferencing sources in assignments across the School of Health and SocialCare. The guide sets out to promote good academic practices based onprinciples of good scholarship. These principles include,

    Properly acknowledge all sources that you use in your assignment. Give enough information so that the reader is able to find the sources

    for themselves if they wish.

    The Guide is divided into four sections

    Introduction

    Basics Explained In-text citations Reference List Entries

    Using the Harvard System

    A reference to source material should contain sufficient information to allowyou and your readers to trace material to its original source. It is veryimportant to be consistent and accurate when citing references. The sameset of rules should be followed every time you cite a reference. The School ofHealth & Social Carerequires you to use the Harvard System for all your

    academic work.

    Why use a referencing system?

    A formal system of referencing is necessary to acknowledge the work of otherwriters in a standard way and to demonstrate the body of knowledge that youhave based your work on. During your studies you will often refer to workwritten by others. You must properly reference your sources and failure to doso, gives the impression you are presenting their ideas as yours. Hence, notreferencing your sources is the academic offence of 'plagiarism', which isdefined as the unacknowledged use of the work of others.

    Why the Harvard System?

    A standard system makes it easier to trace sources efficiently. There are anumber of systems for referencing but the School uses the Harvard System.This system was developed in the USA and it has become internationally themost common system in use. It is sometimes called the author/date system aswell.

    The Harvard System has the advantages of flexibility, simplicity, clarity andease of use for both author and reader. References are listed alphabetically ina Reference Listand cited in the text by simply giving the authors surnameand date of publication.

    The Basics Explained

    This section gives an overview of the basic aspects of citing and referencingwhich are explained in more detailed later.

    Collecting and logging references:

    When you begin to collect information, you should develop a systematicmethod for recording the source of the material. Before starting yourassignment you will read relevant sources that you have found and makenotes. When doing this, for each note you make, routinely log where youfound the idea, including the page number and record whether it is a directquote, a paraphrase or an idea. Also make sure you have the full reference tobooks before you return them to the library and write the full reference of the

    source on any photocopies you make. This will not only help you compileyour Reference List, but will help you locate the item again.

    Quoting, paraphrasing, summarising and using the ideas of others

    Quoting is when you use the exact words of the author. Paraphrasing is whenyou express what the author has written using different words, usually to bemore succinct or to adapt it to fit with your assignment. Summarising usuallyinvolves concisely outlining what the author has said about a particular topicor subject. Sometimes you may wish to use an authors idea or concept inyour assignment.

    In-text citations

    In-text citations are the way you acknowledge in your assignment that you aredrawing from the work of others. All statements, opinions, conclusions, ideasetc. taken from another author's work should be acknowledged, whether thework is directly quoted, paraphrased or summarised. To enable the reader tofind the full reference in the Reference List, citations in the text should give theauthor's surname name with the year of publication and page number, ifrelevant. Where the authors name appears naturally in the sentence, thepublication year and page number, if relevant, are given in brackets after the

    authors name. In all other cases, the authors surname, publication year andpage number, if relevant, are given in brackets.

    Page numbers

    In-text citations for all direct quotes should give the relevant page numbers.In-text citations for paraphrases should also give the page number of thesource sentence/s. When you are referring to a published text in general orsummarising the main argument of a book, chapter or journal article, givingthe page number does not apply as there is no specific page number to give.Giving page numbers enables readers to trace the sources for themselves,

    which is one of the central purposes of citing and referencing sourcematerials.

    The reference list

    A Reference Listgives a detailed description of the sources you have referredto in your assignment. All the references should be listed in alphabetical order

    by author's surname at the end of your assignment in a Reference List. Allsources, no matter what their origin, should be in one alphabetical list. Thatis, you should not divide the list in sections (books, journals etc.). Includeonly those sources you actually referred to in your assignment.

    Hierarchy of sources

    This guide gives guidance on how to reference a wide variety of sources.Although there will be occasions and circumstances when each of these canbe appropriately used, generally sources are not considered to have equalvalue in providing support for arguments and analysis in assignments.

    Generally academic journals are at the top of the list, providing the mostvaluable source of support, while at the bottom would be websites and lecturenotes. In appropriate places the guide gives advice about theappropriateness or otherwise of the various kinds of sources that potentiallycould be used in assignments.

    Slideshow

    You can find a slideshow giving an 'Overview of Harvard Referencing' on theBlackboard Social Work Subject Site. Go the Blackboard enter the 'SocialWork Subject Site' and click on the 'Study Skills' menu and you will find theslideshow in the 'Harvard Referencing' folder.

    Refworks

    If you want to use 'Refworks', the online personal bibliographic managementtool, to generate your 'Reference List', use the Harvard (University of Lincoln)output style. This will generate a Reference List very similar to the Health andSocial Care Harvard Stylegiven in this Guide.

    Cannot find what you need

    In this guide you will find all the types of sources you are likely to use. If thereis a type of source that you want to refer to that is not included, you can referto the University's 'Complete Guide to Harvard Referencing'. You can find thison the Portal if you follow these links.

    Portal/ Services /library /help guides /learning development help guides.

    You will find the 'Complete Guide' under 'Referencing and Plagiarism'.

    In-text Citation

    Generally speaking in-text citations contain three pieces of information,author's surname, date of publication and page number where appropriate.

    Single author

    Spencer (2006: 52) suggests, the proliferation of new and expandedroles and responsibilities for nurses [] requires a correspondinggrowth in academic provision.

    In a recent study Hendrick (2003: 241) found poverty has often beencharacterised by hidden misery, violence and psychologicaldisturbance.

    or

    Poverty has often been characterised by hidden misery, violence andpsychological disturbance (Hendrick, 2003: 241).

    When an author has published more than one cited document in the sameyear these are distinguished by adding lower case letters after the year ofpublication within the brackets.

    Munro (2002a:107) argues that children in public care are vulnerable toa failure of active decision making.

    Two authors

    Give both surnames names linked by and.

    Assessment forms an integral part of the social work process (Parkerand Bradley, 2003:8).

    The introduction of changes in the 1990s brought GPs within budgetarycontrol measures for hospital and community services (Moon andNorth, 2000: 84).

    More than two authors

    Give the first name only, followed by et al (the Latin for and others)

    Payne et al (1998:23) highlight the difficulties of grasping social workvalues and ethics.

    There has been a significant rise in demand for our-of-hours services(Rogers et al, 1999: 34).

    Chapter in an edited book

    The in-text citation of a chapter in an edited book such as Critical Practice inSocial Workedited by Adams, Dominelli and Payne is the author of thechapter and the publication date of the edited book. The in-text citation for the

    following quote from Chapter 11, Fostering and Adoption by Helen CosisBrown would be,

    Fostering and Adoption are two separate areas of practice governedby separate legislation and policy." (Brown, 2002:106)

    The entry in the Reference Listwould be, as explained on page 16,Brown, H. C. (2002) Fostering and Adoption in R. Adams, L. Dominelli andM. Payne (eds) Critical Practice in Social Work, Basingstoke: Palgrave, pp.106-115.

    Multiple citations

    If more than one source is referred to within a sentence to back up an idea,list the sources in alphabetical order by authors surname, with the sourcesseparated by a semi colon.

    Undertaking an assessment demands the sensitive consideration ofethnic background (Coulshed and Orme, 1998:31; Cournoyer,1991:77).

    Quoting

    Quotations from a published work should be used sparingly. When quotingdirectly use quotation marks as well as acknowledging the author's name,year of publication and page number of the quote in brackets.

    Short quotations (e.g. up to 2 lines) can be included in the body of the text:-

    Bagley (2000) argues that the level of abuse from adult recall studiesmay be incorrect, as "only those with stable lifestyles are located inthese surveys (p.172).

    Direct quotes of more than two lines in length should be separated out fromyour own text as shown in the example below. Note the space above andbelow the quote and the quote itself is indented. While assignments have 1.5line spacing, the quote itself is single-spaced.

    Example

    There is therefore a clear need to avoid making the assumption that womens

    role as carers are natural or that men are not cut out for caring. As Fisher(1994) argues, the assumption that men will find caring difficult:

    Allows service providers to cite the carers masculine gender asevidence of the need for service. It allows the myth of theincompetent man to be reproduced, and to be imposed on malecarers and on care receivers. (Fisher, 1994: 673)

    Patriarchal ideology is therefore very significant in relation to caring roles and

    something that we should be very wary of reinforcing.

    Longer quotations like the one below should be used very infrequently.

    Most people would prefer to die in their own home and evenwhen people die in a hospital or hospice most of their care willtake place in their own homes with the help and unpaid workof their close family and friends (lay carers). People who dieat home will normally do so as the result of a long-term illness,often marked by persistent and distressing symptoms. (Taylorand Field, 1997:175)

    Use three dots (), called an ellipsis, to indicate when you shorten aquotation by omitting part of it

    All too often clinicians work under a veil of ignorance. (Little, 1995:65)

    Sometimes you need to add one or two words to make the quotation readcorrectly. Do this by putting the added word or words in square brackets.

    In spite of the varying estimates produced, there can be no doubt thatthere is a large base group of children who have been, or are being,maltreated [and] only a fraction of them are being reported tochild protection practitioners. (Creighton, 1995: 19)

    Paraphrasing

    Paraphrasing is where you repeat what the author has written using differentwords, usually to shorten or adapt it to fit your assignment. A paraphraseusually picks out the key point/s or succinctly states what the authorsargument is. When paraphrasing you still need to acknowledge where you

    found the ideas by using an in-text citation. There are two forms of in-text

  • 8/2/2019 Harvard for Health and Social Care

    11/25

    11

    citation for paraphrases of an author's work. Firstly, when you use theauthors name in the sentence, as in,

    Murphy and Harbin (2000:7) highlight the trend of substance misusehaving a negative impact on the willingness and ability of parents to co-

    operate with social workers.

    Secondly, when you do not use the authors name in the actual sentence, asin,

    The comparatively young age of the children may reflect the success ofinitiatives to address permanence planning earlier (Sargent, 2003:50).

    As stated above, it is good practice for the in-text citation for a paraphrase togive the page number of the paraphrased sentence/s. However you obviouslydo not give the page numbers when you are referring to a published text in

    general or summarising the main argument/s of a whole book, chapter orjournal article. For example,

    Although Skeates and Jabris (1988) report was a positive interventioninto the debate, 1988 was also the year that section 28 of the LocalGovernment Act was made law in Great Britain, remaining on thestatute in Scotland until 2000 and in England and Wales until 2003.

    Secondary referencing

    A source that you have not read but have found referred to in another work isknown as a secondary reference. For example, you might read in Crawfordand Walker (2003: 17).

    Paul Baltes (1987) developed seven theoretical proportions of life-spandevelopmental psychology.

    Secondary referencing is when you refer to the work of an author you havenot read (for example Paul Baltes) cited in a source you have read (forexample Crawford and Walker, 2003: 17) and the primary source (PaulBaltes) is not available for you to read. Secondary referencing should be

    avoided if at all possible. You should get a copy of the primary source anduse that as your information source. If you have not got access to the primarysource but really need to refer to it in your assignment, you should give an in-text citation of the primary source and the source you have read. Forexample,

    Human development is plastic, is one of the seven theoreticalpropositions proposed by Paul Baltes (1987, cited in Crawford andWalker, 2003: 17).

    In your Reference List, ensure that it is only the source you have read that is

    listed. This would be 'Crawford and Walker' in the above example.

    Website citations

    You need to remember that the purpose of all in-text citations is to provide akey to the Reference Listwhere the full details can be found. The whole pointis to have minimum information in the text. You need to particularly remember

    this with in-text citations for websites and webpages. To illustrate this, find thefull reference to (Mapstone, 2006) and (BAAF, undated) in the Reference Liston pages 23-24. You will see that these two sources are in fact websites.These two examples clearly show how the in-text citations are only a key tofinding the full information in List of References.

    If the website or pages has a named author, use this as the in-text citation,together with the year of publication or last revision/updating.

    The BASW website states that there is a great deal of variation acrossthe country and the government proposals would a least contribute to

    creating a more level playing field (Mapstone, 2006).

    It is not uncommon for there to be no individual/s identified as the author/s.When this is the case use the publisher or maintainer of the site with the yearof publication or last revision/updating. When websites have no date - whichis not uncommon - put (undated) instead of the date. The following in-textcitation to the British Association of Adoption and Fostering(BAAF) website,illustrates both of these points

    "In practice, this means that the child is no longer the responsibility ofthe local authority, and the special guardian will have more clearresponsibility for all day-to day decisions about caring for the child oryoung person, and for taking important decisions about theirupbringing, for example, their education." (BAAF, undated)

    It you have difficulty identifying the organisation, look at the home page andthe first part of the web address which will usually give a strong indication ofthe publisher or maintainer of the site.

    When the maintainer of the website remains unknown, use the title of thepage or site as the point of reference. For example,

    "Most patients find it helpful simply to talk about their worries topeople who understand." (Kidney Patient Guide, 2000)

    Remember the in-text citation is only a key to find the full reference in theReference List. The full references to all the in-text citation in this section canbe found on pages 23 and 24.

    Personal Communication

    The citation of personal communications should be used sparingly. You needto decide whether or not it is appropriate to give the actual name of the

    person. You should only use their name with their permission. When givingthe persons name, give their surname, the type of communication and theyear of the communication. When not giving their name, give their occupationor role, the type of communication and the year of the communication.

    Examples,

    Gina Hardesty (personal communication, 2007) stated that service users feelthere were still many barriers to service user involvement to overcome.

    A Super Group member stated that service users feel there were still many

    barriers to service user involvement to overcome (Super Group member,personal communication, 2007).

    Service users feel there are still many barriers to service user involvement toovercome (Hardesty, personal communication, 2007).

    Service users feel there are still many barriers to service user involvement toovercome (Super Group member, personal communication, 2007).

    Lectures

    When you want to use the work of an author that a lecturer has referred to in alecture you need to follow the seconding referencing advice on page 12. This

    states you need to locate the primary source and use that as your source ofinformation. If the original source is unavailable and it is imperative that youruse this idea, you should follow the secondary referencing convention. Forexample, the in-text citation (Carson, 1995: 74 cited in O'Sullivan, 2010) withthe entry in the Reference List,

    OSullivan, T. (2010) Analysing Options, SOW3006M Lecture 7,Friday 12th November.

    in your Reference List.

    If it is the lecturers own ideas you want to use, cite the lecture as yourreference source. Keep references to lectures down to a minimum and avoidit you can. However, if you do use the lecturers ideas as a source ofinformation you should have an in-text citation, for example, (O'Sullivan, 2010)and include the lecture in your Reference List. Include the lecturers name,title of the lecture, module code, lecture number and date of the lecture asbelow.
