Formatting Style Guide Harvard Formatting Style Guide Harvard Definition of style The author-date, or Harvard, style of referencing is widely accepted in academic publications, although you may see a number of variations in the way it is used. The information and examples on these pages are based on the Australian Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th ed. The various editions of this style manual have been produced as a guide for those working within Australian gov- ernment departments. This style of referencing requires that you acknowledge the source of your infor- mation or ideas in two ways: * In the text of your work, when you refer to ideas or information you have collected during your research. Each reference is indicated by including the author and date of the publication referred to, or cited. * In a reference list at the end of your text, which gives the full details of the works you have referred to, or cited. Formatting Style Guide Harvard Basic Rules Your paper should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins on all sides You should use 10-12 pt. Times New Roman font or a similar font. Include a page header at the top of every page. Set the margins of your document to 1 inch on all sides. To create a page header, insert page numbers to the right. Then type "TITLE OF YOUR PAPER" in the header on the left. Paragraph starts with normal 0.5 indentations. Use word “References” when posting the list at the end of paper. . • • • • • • • Major Paper Sections Formatting Style Guide Harvard General Harvard Guidelines 1) Title Page a) Running Head On the top left of the title page type "Running Head:" followed by a shorter version of your title in all caps. This shorter version of your title will appear on this, and all subsequent pages, on the top right of the page. There, the shorter version of your title should be in all caps, followed by 5 spaces and the page number. On the title page, both appear simply to inform the reader. Formatting Style Guide Harvard b) Title This is the most important part, and should be center aligned, about halfway down the page. This is the full title of the research paper, dissertation or thesis. 2) Abstract If your instructor requires an abstract, write a 75-100 word overview of your paper, which should include your main idea and your major points. You also may want to mention any implications of your research. Place the abstract on its own page immediately after the title page. Center the word Abstract and then follow with the para- graph. On the second page, include an abstract, if applicable. Center the word "Abstract" on the page followed by a 75- to 100-word summary of your paper. Formatting Style Guide Harvard 3) Body a) Subheading • Subheading used is flesh left aligned and italic font style. • Subheading will be written in Title case. Formatting Style Guide Harvard Formatting Style Guide Harvard b) In-text citation (including quotes) Books/Magazines./Review In-text Citations (only Quotations) Author last name and year used when paraphrasing someone else's ideas. You don't need to include page numbers. Ex: Students unsure of what con- stitutes plagiarism find it safer to include sources thorough citations (Johnson, 2004). For quotes within the body of the paper, include the Author's last name, the year and page number(s) in parentheses directly after the quotation mark. This information should be separated by commas. The following sample sentence includes a proper citation: A recent study has found that "...in-text citations are becoming increasingly important to avoid charges of plagiarism." (Johnson, 2004, p.144) If you mention an Author's name outside the parentheses, you don't need to include it again. Follow the format of the following sentence: Johnson (2004) also stated, "Schools are becomingly increasingly strict in response to the cut-and-paste generation of students." (p.166) Website Website name appears in citation. Formatting Style Guide Harvard These are: (a) author, (b) date, (c) title, (d) publication informa- tion, and (e) Internet access information. Each element is followed by a period. Harvard style follows these rules: 1. Author. The list of References is organized alphabetically by author. The lead author’s name goes last name first, as do all other coauthors to a work. Only first and middle initials are used. With two or more authors the last author’s name is preceded by an am- persand (&), an Harvard trademark. But other names, such as editors and translators not serving as the author in a reference, go in their normal order, again with just first and middle initials. 2. Date. The date is placed in parentheses after the list of authors. Harvard style formats full dates in American fashion (Month Day, Year); the year first for the publication date in references: (2006, October 31); in normal order for Internet retrieval dates (e.g., Re- trieved October 31, 2006). 3. Title. All titles are formatted lowercase (sentence caps): only the first word, the first word after a colon, and proper nouns are capi- talized. Titles of books and the names of journals (journal names are capitalized as proper nouns) are placed in italics. Titles of arti- cles or chapters are not placed in quotes or italics. Formatting Style Guide Harvard 4. Publication Information (Books). Harvard style, like other styles, introduces the publisher of a book by first giving the place of publication, then the name of the publisher: Baltimore, MD: Artless Press. Use standard two-character postal abbreviations for states. 5. Reverse indentation of 0.5 inch is used when creating reference list. Formatting Style Guide Harvard The block formats illustrate how these rules are applied to format references to the most common sources. The Harvard Crib Sheet has specific examples. Study the use of parentheses and punctua- tion, note the use of the abbreviation pp. with some page numbers, but not all (this is one of the nuances that plague Harvard style).
