This guide provides an introduction to the intricacies of referencing using the CQUniversity Harvard style of referencing. When writing a university assignment, there are certain referencing rules you need to follow. This guide will explain what referencing is and show you how to reference using the CQUniversity Harvard referencing style. The first four sections of this study guide assist you to become familiar with referencing and will assist you to apply the examples offered in the final section of this guide. The first section provides you with an overview of referencing. Then there are two sections offering more detailed explanations of terms and concepts that are vital for the development of your knowledge so you can become proficient in referencing in text and in the reference list. There is also an important section explaining academic integrity. The appendices offer further information about the technical language and abbreviations or acronyms used in Harvard style referencing. Once you are familiar with some of the concepts and key words, you will find it much easier to use Section 5 of this guide, which contains examples of in-text citations and reference list. Referencing requires attention to detail, so you will need to refer to these examples and explanations a number of times as you develop your skills. There are variations on the Harvard style of referencing and it is important for you to use the CQUniversity Harvard referencing style. There are also other referencing styles (e.g. American Psychological Association, Turabian, Vancouver), so before you use this booklet check your unit profile to make sure you need to use Harvard referencing in your assignment. What is referencing? There are different types of university assignments (e.g. essays, oral presentations, reports, reflections, blogs, PowerPoint presentations, case studies). When you write an assignment, you will usually be expected to include the details of any sources you have used as in-text citations, and in a list at the end of the assignment with the title References. These processes are collectively known as ‘referencing’. Why do I need to reference? Writing an assignment will often involve research using a range of different source types (e.g. websites, journal articles, books, course readings). Each time you ‘borrow’ ideas, data, information or illustrations from other sources to use in your assignment you will need to reference the source. Referencing will help you: • Demonstrate your knowledge of a topic and provide evidence of scholarly research. • Give credit to the author or creator of the original source of an image, idea or piece of information. • Avoid plagiarism and its associated penalties. P a g e | 2 An Abridged Guide to the Harvard Referencing Style Edition T2 2020 Academic Learning Centre SAE What should I reference? You must reference any source you use when writing an assignment even if you have just borrowed an idea or image, rather than copying exact words. This includes any of the following. • Hard copy (paper based) sources (e.g., books, journal articles, newspapers, magazines, brochures, pamphlets and newsletters) • Electronic sources (e.g. websites, videos, blogs, film clips, audio files, Moodle notes and readings) • Other sources (e.g., phone conversations, interviews). • Visuals (e.g. images, figures and tables). How to get more assistance with developing your referencing skills? The Academic Learning Centre (ALC) offers workshops focussed on referencing both online and on campus. These are advertised on our Moodle site and via emails sent to your CQUniversity email account. You can also ask the ALC by phoning 07 49707211 or emailing alc-advice@cqu.edu.au Five key steps to referencing While researching and drafting Step 1. Decide which type of source you want to use (e.g. book, website, journal etc.). Step 2. Record the relevant source details (e.g. author, date, title, publisher, URL etc.). In your assignment Step 3. Use the notes you have made from the sources you read to create sentences and paragraphs to provide evidence or examples that support your ideas. Step 4. Ensure that details for the in-text citation (e.g. author’s surname, date, page number) are correct. Make sure you follow the Harvard style guidelines. At the end of the assignment Step 5. Create a reference list and remember each item must have a corresponding item as an in-text citation.

Referencing in the assignment Example In this example of a paragraph you can see what referencing looks like in the body of the assignment. Notice the inclusion of the authors name and date in most sentences. These are known as citations. They let the reader know the details about the source of the information. These citations acknowledge all ideas or words that belong to another person, even if it is not a direct quote. These citations are integrated uploads/s3/ harvard-guide-2020.pdf
