    Guide to Harvard Referencing for Playwork Students

    IntroductionReferencing is sometimes seen as the bane of student academic writing, asthere seem to be so many rules. The Playwork Field at University ofGloucestershire uses the Harvard referencing system, and the guide givenhere (adapted from one developed by Learning Technology and Skills

    Support, 2004, updated 2006) is current at the time of printing.

    What is referencing and why should it be used?Academic work demands that you read widely and consider the work of otherwriters and researchers when you are preparing your essays and otherassignments. To use this work without acknowledgement is to steal the ideasof other people and is called plagiarism. It is, therefore, very important thatyou acknowledge these ideas and opinions as belonging to a particularauthor, as they are considered to be that authors intellectual property. This

    procedure is called citing or quoting references. By doing this you are makingit possible for readers to locate the source material that you have used. Thesystem of referencing most commonly used at the University ofGloucestershire is the Harvard System.

    The Harvard System of ReferencingThere are many styles of referencing. The Playwork Field at the University ofuses the Harvard system, which consists of two elements:

    providing the name of the author(s) and the year of publication in thetext

    and

    giving the full details of where to find the reference in a list ofReferences.

    Some referencing guides may ask for a bibliography as well: this is a list ofsources you have used in preparing your work, but not cited directly in thetext. The Playwork Field does not require you to provide this list we ask youto list all and only those sources you have cited directly in your assignment.

    The system varies slightly for books and for journal articles and there aresome more complicated instances such as websites and government reports.You should always provide references in the following cases:

    direct quotations from another source

    paraphrased text which you have rewritten and/or synthesised but havebased on someone else's work

    information derived from other studies

    statistical information

    theories and ideas derived from other authors interpretations of events or evidence derived from other sources

    Guide to Harvard Referencing for Playwork Students

    i. If the authors name occurs naturally in the sentencethe year is given inparentheses:-

    Note: if you use a quotation you must include the page number/s. If you are

    referring to a study as a whole then page numbers are unnecessary.

    Examples:

    In a popular study Harvey (1992) argued that we have to teach goodpractices

    As Harvey (1992, p27) said, good practices must be taught, and sowe

    ii. If the name does not occur naturally in the sentence, both nameand year are given in parentheses:-

    Examples:

    A more recent study (Stevens, 1998) has shown the way theory andpractical work interact.

    Theory rises out of practice, and once validated, returns to direct orexplain the practice (Stevens, 1998, p468).

    iii. When an author has published more than one cited document inthe same year, these are distinguished by adding lower case letters(a,b,c, etc.) after the year and within the parentheses:-

    Example:

    Johnson (1994a, p31) discussed the subject

    iv. If there are two authors the surnames of both should be given:-

    Examples:

    Matthews and Jones (1997) have proposed that

    Weir and Kendrick (1995, p88) state that "networking is no longersolely within the male domain . . ."

    v. If there are more than two authors the surname of the first authoronly should be given, followed by et al:-

    Examples:

    6

    7/22

    Guide to Harvard Referencing for Playwork Students

    Office costs amount to 20% of total costs in most businesses (Wilson etal. 1997)

    Wilson et al. (1997) conclude that office costs

    Note: A full listing of names should appear in the reference list (see sectionB).

    vi. If you refer to an author of a chapter in an edited book, the surnameof the chapter author is given with the year.

    Example:

    Describing the requirements of occupational therapy Yerxa (1983)

    indicated that

    Note: Section B describes how this should be referenced in the reference list.

    vii. If you are citing more than one reference at the same place in thetext, they should be listed in chronological date order, with the earliestfirst.

    Example:

    Isaac (1988), Jones (1994) and Atkinson et al. (1996) inform us that

    viii. If the work is anonymous then Anon should be used.

    Example:

    In a recent article (Anon, 1998) it was stated that

    ix. If it is a reference to a newspaper article with no author the name ofthe paper can be used in place of Anon.

    Example:

    More people than ever seem to be using retail home delivery (THETIMES, 1996, p3)

    Note: You should use the same style in the reference list.

    x. If you refer to a source quoted in another source you cite both in thetext:-

    Example:

    A study by Smith (1960 cited in Jones 1994, p24) showed that

    Note: You should list only the work you have read, in this case Jones, in thereference list.

    xi. If you refer to a contributor in a source you cite just the contributor:-

    Example:

    According to Bantz software development has been given as the

    cornerstone in this industry (1995, p99).

    Note: See Section B below for an explanation of how to list contributions(chapters in books, articles in journals, papers in conference proceedings) inthe reference list.

    xii. If you refer to a person who has not produced a work, orcontributed to one, but who is quoted in someone elses work it issuggested that you should mention the persons name and cite the

    source author:-

    Examples:

    Richard Hammond stressed the part psychology plays in advertising inan interview with Marshall (1999).

    In a recent article by Marshall, Richard Hammond said Advertising willalways play on peoples desires, (1999, p67).

    Note: You should list the work that has been published, in this case Marshall,in the reference list.
