Referencing What is Referencing? Referencing is providing information on the sources that you have used. You need to reference your sources in the text of your assignment, this is called in-text citation, and provide a reference list at the end of your assignment. In the Harvard Northumbria style, references are listed in alphabetical order. What is a Bibliography? A bibliography includes all the material used in the preparation of your work. It will therefore include your entire reference list as well as any other material you’ve read or used but haven’t referred to directly. It is written in the same format as your reference list. Harvard Northumbria Harvard Northumbria is the accepted referencing style of the University in line with ‘Cite them right: the essential guide to referencing and plagiarism’. Referencing a book When writing a book reference, use the order and punctuation as shown below. The Author(s) will appear first, followed by year, title, edition (only include the book’s edition if it’s later than the first edition), place and publisher. Referencing a printed journal article For a journal reference, use the order shown below: author(s), year, article title, journal title, issue information and page numbers. Issue information is the volume of the journal followed by the part number in brackets. In some cases, the issue information may be a month or even a season. ‘pp.’ is the abbreviation for ‘pages’.

March 2009 Nielson (2000, p.85) argues against using frames in website design and goes on to say that if frames have to be used then they should be used sparingly. The BBC News (2008) website is a well respected site that uses a clear navigation structure without frames. Websites should be treated as ‘electronic storefronts’ (Winter, Saunders & Hart, 2003) and as such it’s important to ensure that the website is usable and easy to navigate.

Reference list (alphabetical order) In-text citation In-text citation In-text citation website journal article book Secondary Referencing Take your information from what you have actually read. If you can’t read the original source, only what another author has written about it, then give a secondary reference. Remember, you are relying on the author you are reading giving an accurate representation of the original work – this may not always be the case! You must be clear in your text that you have not read the original source and are referring to it from a secondary source. For example, you could say: A description of education in the 1930s by Ella Ruth Boyce (Santer, Griffiths & Goodall 2007, p.8) is very interesting because… Santer, J., Griffiths, C. & Goodall, D.
