Harvard Style of Citing References

 

The general principles are laid out below, but the basic rule is that within your text, sources of information should be identified and relate to the entry in the list of references, which itself should provide enough information for the original source to be identified and found by the reader of your work.

How to Reference:
   
  Electronic book  
  Computer program or software  
  Online journal article  
  Online report with a personal author  
  Online report with corporate author ( company or organisation)
  Online conference paper  
  Web pages with an organisation as author  
  AI Generative Tools (ChatGPT, Google Bard, Midjourney, Copilot, etc.)  
  Person to person communications (letters, email, interviews, etc.)  
  Text or script from videos, films or broadcasts  
  Films, TV / Radio programmes or contribution to programmes  
  Standalone media, e.g. CD-ROMS and DVDs  
  Podcast, Screencast or Webinar  
  Blog, Vlog or Wiki  
  Twitter  
  Online Video files, e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, TED, etc.  
  Photographs/images accessed online  
  Lecture notes or Powerpoint presentation  
  Scanned chapters or articles on Reading Lists / Blackboard Learn
