Referencing, the Harvard way

Now that you're all starting to make notes and write sections of your literature review, you should give some careful thought to the issue of referencing. As nit-picky as it seems, referencing is a vital component of academic writing. You need to get it right!

Here are some sites which will be useful. Leeds Metropolitan University has (very usefully) produced an accessible on-line guide to the Harvard Referencing system. Have a look.

If you are using loads of online references, you might find the University of Southern Queensland site a useful addition -- it has lots of examples and covers most of the kinds of online referencing you will find you need to do.

Remember, referencing is important and you need to make sure you've been as accurate as possible, both in the way you reference and what you reference.
