Harvard Referencing Guide
Unlike many referencing styles, there is no source document for a Harvard Guide. This guide is based on Commonwealth of Australia 2002, Style Manual for authors, editors and printers , 6th edn , rev. by Snooks & Co, John Wiley & Sons, Australia, Milton; and a wide range of online Harvard Guides were also consulted.
- A table of contents, which can be used as a quick guide on each page
- examples of in-text citing for each source type
- basic explanations of key terms and symbols used in referencing
- more comprehensive coverage of source types
- rules for page numbers at the top of each page
- notes included with individual examples where relevant, highlighting details that may be overlooked
- tips for figures, tables and musical notation at Appendix A
- a quick guide for referencing articles at Appendix B
- a quick guide to in-text referencing at Appendix C
- a sample reference list at Appendix D
The guide first covers general points of how and why you should reference.

For a document within a website, consider it in the same way as a published document or book. The following elements should be applied:
Author(s), editor(s) or compiler – (person or organisation) Year (created or revised), Title of document – italicised, version number (if applicable), description of document (if applicable), Publisher or sponsor of the document, viewed date, .
- in-text citations – this is what you include within your writing. The in-text citation gives very limited information eg (Cottrell, 2019)
- reference list – this appears at the end of your assignment. Your reference list gives the full details of your sources, in a specific order and format.
A frequently used referencing style is Harvard. At Teesside University, the Harvard style is taken from Cite them Right.
When writing a piece of work, you need to refer in your text to any material you have used that has been written or produced by others. This procedure is called citing or quoting references. Citing materials that you have referred to correctly will enable you to avoid plagiarism.
