What is Harvard referencing?
Referencing is the acknowledgment of all the sources you have cited in your assignments,
whether you have quoted directly or paraphrased. The Harvard system uses the
author – date method; the references in the assignment text are given in brackets and the
list of sources is given in a bibliography (or reference list), attached to the assignment.
Most of the examples we have given are direct quotes. There is an example of
paraphrasing on page 9.
Referencing enables you to:
* show you have researched your topic, for example, articles, books, reference
works
