In the majority of our databases it is possible to create a reference in the most common styles (Harvard, Oxford etc.). This is an easy way if you want to reference a book or article. Check for links such as export or cite.

The words and ideas that you read as you prepare to write an essay or other written assignment are the intellectual property of the person/s who wrote them, and these must be referenced. Failure to do so is plagiarism, which is penalised by examiners. You must also reference all images, tables, and graphs taken from printed or internet sources.
Centre for Academic Writing (CAW) has developed a series of academic writing resources, including The Coventry University Guide to Referencing in Harvard Style (PDF), which can be also accessed via LibGuide. This is a simple system which is used internationally by scholars and researchers. The lecturing team at the CAW have customised the various versions of this referencing style into one user-friendly guide for use by students and staff at Coventry. The guide also contains a glossary of key terms used in referencing.
This section describes the correct methods for crediting external sources (such as books, articles, and websites) in assignments. Referencing external sources properly shows your marker that you can effectively locate and integrate facts and ideas into your assignment. Failure to reference your sources is plagiarism and can carry significant academic penalties.
