TWO PAGE HARVARD REFERENCING SYSTEM

The Harvard style, or author-date system is now standard for use in University of the Arts London. IT IS IMPORTANT YOU USE IT TO: * acknowledge the work of other writers. * demonstrate the body of knowledge on which you have based your work. * enable other readers to trace your sources and lead them on to further information. HARVARD INFORMS THE READER OF YOUR RESEARCH as follows: CITING: A citation is a means of referring, within your text, to the sources that you have obtained information from. QUOTATIONS: Quoting backs-up your discussion and the quote reference is the detailed description of the item from which you have obtained your information. BIBLIOGRAPHY (p.2) is the list (or journey) of the research sources you have used. The bibliography appears at the end of your work and is alphabetically arranged in sections i.e. books. As well as listing the sources you refer to in your text, it may also include details of material you have read, viewed etc., which informed your opinion, but was not referred to directly. CITING IN THE TEXT evidences your research Use citations to underpin the ideas you raise in your text. It is very simple to cite material using the Harvard system, all you need to do is mention the author and date of publication in your text, at the point where you refer to a particular document. e.g. How to write a research project is clearly outlined in Berry (2000) The above citation would then appear in the bibliography, listed alphabetically, giving the full details, see page 2 of this document. e.g. Berry, R. (2000) The research project: how to write it. 4th ed. London: Routledge If you refer to more than one reference at the same point in your text, then they should be listed chronologically. e.g. Howe (1986), Bourner (1990), Turabain (1996) USE QUOTATIONS to underpin your discussion It is essential to acknowledge the source (quote reference) of all quotations. When you record a particular quotation you must identify the page numbers. These appear after the date within the brackets. Use p. for page and pp. for pages. Brief quotations (one to three lines) should be set in single inverted commas. Throughout the nineteenth century the primary audience for illustrated fairy-tale books was constituted by the middle classes and the aristocracy. (Zipes, 1986 p.233) Quotations of more than three lines should be indented and typed single space, without quotation marks. For each one of the classical tales, there are thousands of illustrated books. And yet, despite this number, there are an astonishing number of repetitions, slightly varied images of standardised characters and scenes which have prevailed over the years. (Zipes, 1986 p.233) VISUAL MATERIAL must support a point explored in your text and be properly referenced. Images not discussed but referred to, should be placed in an appendix. Images taken from published material or the Internet: Image caption + Image source e.g. record the full bibliographical information Your own images: Your name + Title + Date of creation
