Harvard Style of Citing References |
||
|
You may want to include a reference to work by an author (e.g. Castle) which has been mentioned in another work you have read, written by Parker. This is called secondary referencing or secondary citing. There is a distinction between acknowledging a source referred to (or interpreted) by a source, and one which directly quotes another's words. This is referred to as secondary contribution or secondary quotation.
The in-text citation should include both authors and publication dates. You should only list the work you have read in the reference list.
When secondary referencing, use this format: |
||
|
In text: A study by Castle (2001, cited by Parker, 2009) showed that… |
||
|
In your list of references you should include only the work you have read, i.e. Parker. Author's Surname(s), INITIALS. (Year of Publication) Title. Edition (if needed). Place of Publication: Publisher. e.g. Parker, N.L. (2009) Strategic management. Mason, Ohio: Thomson South-Western. Note: Secondary referencing is not encouraged as you have only read Parker’s interpretation of Castle’s work. Why not source Castle’s original text, read it and cite it in the normal way? |

Secondary contributions or quotations: If you refer to a person who has not produced a published work or contributed to one, but who is mentioned or quoted in someone else's work, you should give the person's full name in the body of your work and cite the source author who mentions the person or quote. |

If quoting, include it in the body of the text in double quotation marks, if less than a line. Longer quotations should be indented, single-spaced and appear within double quotation marks. e.g. Richard Hammond stressed the part psychology plays in advertising in an interview with Marshall (1999). or “Advertising will always play on peoples’ desires”, Richard Hammond said in a recent article (Marshall 1999, p.67). or Albert Einstein’s suggestion that one should “try not to become a man of success but rather … a man of value”, displays a refreshing view of achievement (Miller, 1955, p.64). Give the work that has been published, i.e. Marshall or Miller, in the list of references.
