About this booklet
This booklet is designed to help you
understand how to cite and reference
your information appropriately using
the Harvard system of referencing.
Our guide is intended to give you help
with some of the common types of
information you may need to cite and
reference. It is not possible to include
every single type of information
but once you are familiar with our
guidance, you should be able to use
it to create references for types of
information which are not included.

SMILE Harvard Referencing
What is referencing?
Referencing is a way of acknowledging that you have used the ideas and work
belonging to someone else. It demonstrates that you have undertaken an
appropriate literature search and carried out appropriate reading.
The following are examples of sources you might access and need to reference:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Books
E-books
Journal articles
E-journal articles
Web pages
E-mails
Video, film, CDs and audio recordings/clips
Newspapers
Conference papers
Pamphlets
Radio/TV broadcasts – you must check with your lecturer that this type of material
is okay to use in your assignment!
• Personal communication – you should ask permission from the other person(s)
before quoting personal communication
• Interviews – if this is a personal interview, you must always ask permission of the
interviewee before using such material
www.yorksj.ac.uk/smile
05
Why do it?
• Anyone reading your assignments
should be able to trace the sources
you have used in the development
of your work.
• Referencing gives you the
opportunity to demonstrate the
work you have put into creating your
assignment. If you’ve done a lot of
hard work, why keep quiet about it?
• Referencing allows you to show
which parts of the assignment
are your own thoughts, ideas and
evaluation.
06
SMILE Harvard Referencing
• Good quality references give you a
good basis for your argument.
• Accurate referencing is good
academic practice and enhances
the presentation of your work. If you
have referenced fully and accurately
you can be sure that you won’t be
accused of plagiarism.
• Accurate referencing can improve
your marks!
Citing
When you have used an idea from a
book, journal article or other source,
you must acknowledge this in your
text. We refer to this as ‘citing’.
When you cite someone else’s work,
you must always state the author or
editor and the date of publication. If
the work has two authors or editors
you must cite both surnames when
citing in the body of your own work.
Only use the author and date; do not
include the title, place of publication,
and other information, because these
are included in your reference list at
the end of your assignment.
If the work has multiple authors or
editors you should cite all names unless
there are four or more authors/editors.
If this is the case, you should use the
abbreviation et al. (which is short for et
alia and means ‘and others’) after the
name of the first author.
However, in your reference list or
bibliography you should include all
the author names, regardless of how
many there are.
Read on for more on where and how
you will need to cite.
www.yorksj.ac.uk/smile
07
Citing in the body of the text
When you cite a piece of work you
must always state the author/editor
and the date of publication. If the work
has two authors/editors you must cite
both names. When citing in-text, you
only use the author and date; do not
include the title, place of publication
etc as these further details are written
in your reference list at the end of your
assignment. g
– With one author:
The work of Smith (2002) emphasises
that the research […]
If the work has four or more authors/
editors, then use the abbreviation ‘et
al.’ This should be used after the name
of the first author. g
– Authors cited in your text:
The work of Smith et al. (2002)
emphasises that […]. However,
Theakston and Boddington (2001)
considered that […]
Remember, in your reference list or
bibliography, you will need to include
all author names, so make sure you
keep a record of who they are.
If you cite an item which has the same
author and was written in the same
year as an earlier citation, you must
use a lower case letter after the date to
differentiate between the two. g
08
SMILE Harvard Referencing
– With two authors:
The work of Theakston and Boddington
(2002) emphasises that the research […]
– With paraphrased text:
There has been some considerable
debate (Theakston and Boddington
2002) […]
– Paraphrasing in your text:
[…] however, this caused even further
debate. (Smith et al. 2006)
– Citing different work by the same
author from the same year:
The work of Smith (2002a) emphasises
that the research […]
Quoting in the text
Often it is better to paraphrase than to use direct quotes. Paraphrasing is putting
text from source material into your own words. This demonstrates that you have
understood the meaning and context of what you have read. You must always
reference paraphrased material. However, if a direct quote from a publication is
used, you should:
• use quotation marks.
Either ‘single’ or “double” quotation marks may be used, but you should always
remain consistent and not switch between the two.
• state the page number in addition to the author and year.
Simpson (2002, p. 6) declared […]
• use an ellipsis (three dots, or full stops) in square brackets to indicate that part of
the original text has been omitted from the quotation.
“In 1664 the most common female crime […] was that of battering men.”
• have a separate, indented paragraph for quotes that take up more than two lines
of text, such as in the example below. If you are indenting a quote, you should not
use quotation marks as well.
Boden (1998, p. 72) states:
In 1664, the most common female crime prosecuted at the Quarter Sessions
was that of battering men. This would suggest that women were not the
passive and obedient members of society that men would have liked to
believe they were.
Duplication of charts, diagrams, pictures etc should be treated as direct quotes in
that the author(s) should be acknowledged and page numbers shown; both in your
text where the diagram is discussed or introduced, and in the caption written for it.
www.yorksj.ac.uk/smile
09
Citing from an interview or
personal communication
When citing from an interview, always
use the surname of the interviewee/
practitioner and the year the interview
took place.
Citing from chapters written by
different authors
Some books may contain chapters
written by different authors. When
citing work from such a book, the
author who wrote the chapter should
be cited, not the editor of the book.
For more information on referencing
chapters, see page 18.

SMILE Harvard Referencing
Secondary referencing
Secondary referencing occurs when
you are reading an author who refers
to another author’s work and you want
to use this information to support an
argument in your assignment.
Ideally, you should try to locate the
original work so that you can cite
directly from it. However, it may not
be possible to access the original work
or it may not be appropriate (eg when
referring to well established theories).
When citing a secondary reference we
recommend that both the author of
the primary source and the author of
the work it was cited in should be used:
Ellis (1990), cited by Cox (1991),
discusses […]
In your reference list you should only
reference the work you have read and
cited in your assignment. Therefore,
if you haven’t read and cited from the
original work, you shouldn’t reference
it.
The same principle applies to your
bibliography (if you decide to include
one). You should only list the work
you have read for your assignment.
Therefore, if you haven’t read the
original work, you shouldn’t reference
it.
NB: Some subject areas ask that
secondary referencing should be
avoided where possible. Check with
your Academic Liaison Librarian for
more information.

11
Citing and quoting from multimedia and online resources
Electronic journal (e-journal)
articles
When citing from an e-journal article
it should be treated in the same way
as a paper journal, using the author’s
surname and the publication date. For
more information on what to include
in your reference list, see our page on
e-journals on page 27.
Web pages
If the website has an obvious
author and date of publication, the
information should be cited like a
book or journal article. If there is not
an obvious author, but the work is
situated on an organisational website,
the organisation can be used as a
corporate author:
The Department of Health (2003)
reported that […]
12
SMILE Harvard Referencing
CDs
If there is not an obvious author, use
the title of the CD as the main point of
reference:
[…] as found by Encyclopedia
Britannica (2001).
Multi-media
If a video/DVD recording or audiocassette is cited, the series title should
be used as the author:
World in Action (2002) raises the
point that […]
Reference lists and
bibliographies
Reference lists
Your reference list contains all the
items you have cited or directly quoted
from. For example:
The reference list is a list of all the
sources that have been cited in
the assignment. The list is inclusive
showing books, journals, etc, listed in
one list, not in separate lists according
to source type.
Life on Campus. (2006) [DVD]
London, Imperial College London.
• The list should be in alphabetical
order by author/editor/organisation.
• Books, paper journal articles,
e-journal articles, etc, are laid out
in a particular format that must be
followed.

Team. London, Blackwell.

44-49.
The layout for each type of publication
can be found later in this booklet,
starting on page 15.
www.yorksj.ac.uk/smile
13
Bibliographies
There may be items which you have
consulted for your work, but not cited
anywhere within your assignment’s
text. These can be listed at the end
of your assignment in a bibliography.
The items which form a bibliography
should be listed in alphabetical order
by author and laid out in the same way
as items in your reference list.
If you cite from every source you
consulted, you will only need a
reference list. If you wish to show
to your reader (examiner) the
unused research you carried out, a
bibliography will show your extra
effort.

SMILE Harvard Referencing
How to reference sources: Layouts for
your reference list and bibliography
When finding information for any of
your essays, dissertations or other
pieces of work, always remember to
collect information on your source that
you can use later to properly reference
it. Once you have done this, you should
then reference this source using the
correct format.
Over the next few pages are some
layout guidelines for you to use if
you’re ever unsure of how to correctly
reference a source. Remember, it
isn’t possible to include every type of
information source, but you can use
these guidelines to help decide how to
reference anything which isn’t listed.

Miscellaneous – scripture
References to the Bible should include book (abbreviated), chapter and verse - never
a page number. Traditionally a colon is used between chapter and verse:
Isaiah 4:5-6.
Ruth 1:22.
Luke 2:7-16.
References to the Bible are not typically included in your bibliography, but if you
want to reference the particular Bible that you have been using, please do so as you
would a book (see page 17). Treat references to the sacred and highly revered works
of other religious traditions similarly to how those of the Judeo-Christian tradition
are treated.
If this remains unclear, please contact Information Learning Services for assistance.

What do I do if the publication has
no date?
– Write “no date” in round brackets,
where the date should be.
Frequently asked
questions
What if there is no obvious author
for an item on the web?
– You can use the organisation
whose website it is (such as the BBC)
as the corporate author. However, if
there is no author and it is not a site
belonging to an organisation, you need
to question whether or not this is a
reliable source of information.
N.B.
If you are unsure of the layout of a
source in your reference list, check
the reference layout – you can find
these from pages 16 though to 65.
For further help, please contact
Information Learning Services.
There is no obvious publisher or
place of publication, what should I
do?
– This would be fairly unusual. Usually
you would have at least one of these
pieces of information. If you can’t
determine the publisher, then you
can use the name of the organisation
responsible. If you don’t have this
information either, then you can use
(s.n.) which is an abbreviation for sine
nomine which means no name.
– If you don’t have the publisher’s
name then it will probably be very
difficult to find out the place of
publication. In the unlikely event of this
happening you can use (s.l.).
– The above abbreviations should only
be used if you really cannot find the
information.
66
SMILE Harvard Referencing
Can I mix referencing styles?
– No. You must only use one
referencing style. Be consistent!
What is the difference between a
bibliography and a reference list?
– A reference list is a list of all the
sources you have cited from. A
bibliography is a list of items you
have read during the course of
your research, but not cited in that
particular assignment.
I can’t find guidance on how to
reference an item, what should I do?
– You can use the principles outlined
in our guidance to create a reference
for an item which isn’t listed. Think
carefully about the item and what
information you need to include about
it. Have a go at creating a reference
and you can ask Information Learning
Services for advice if you are unsure.
