Life and Health Sciences Harvard Referencing Guidelines: Author, non-English language naming conventions

Life and Health Sciences Harvard Referencing Guidelines

Author, non-English language naming conventions

Detailed information on non-English naming conventions are available in Section F of  Pears and Shields "Cite them right: the essential referencing guide text". This is available in print format in all three campus libraries; see https://catalogue.library.ulster.ac.uk/items/1508245?  It is also available in electronic format; see https://catalogue.library.ulster.ac.uk/items/1508774?

Please note, this book is not tailored to Life and Health Sciences Harvard Referencing but it is excellent for the theory. If you follow any of the examples in the book, you will need to adapt them slightly to conform to our LHS Harvard style.

 

One example of how to reference non-English language author names is given below:
