3 Why reference Introduction Most of the work you produce requires referencing to demonstrate that you have researched and considered the ideas of others in researching your topic or presenting your argument. Referencing is also necessary because it prevents you from plagiarising, which can lead to an automatic fail result. Plagiarism is using someone else s thoughts, words or ideas and writing them as if they were your own. Referencing tells the reader where the original idea/ information can be found. What should be referenced? Anything that you have read or heard that has influenced your writing: A concept or idea Class notes A paraphrased quote Script or screenplay A direct quote A contestable argument Personal communication General knowledge does not need to be referenced, for example: Canberra is the capital of Australia. But if you read that The Yass Canberra plains were chosen because of the snow in Dalgety this would have to be referenced. A contestable argument that would need to be referenced may be: It is a fact that Lady Denman, rather than the Surveyor Scrivener actually proclaimed the name Canberra. The Harvard style is an author-date referencing system with two key components: Citations in the text. A reference list at the end of the paper. 1. In-text referencing This is a short notation within the essay, report or written answer, indicating where the source of the information or idea can be found. Always include the author s surname, the year of publication and the page number(s) if available. If there is no author, use the title of the work. If the author is not known but the organisation which produced the work is known, list the organisation as author. A student s basic guide to referencing: Harvard style July 2017 V2 Page 2 of 26

4 What is the difference between a Bibliography and a List of References? A bibliography is comprehensive, as it lists all the reading you did, including background reading. A list of references, on the other hand, contains only the works you have cited in the text of your assignment. Using referenced quotes Use quotes wisely and don t use too many no more than 10% of the essay or report. Direct quotes (word for word) should be kept to a minimum. Avoid making your essay/report just a chain of quotes, as this does not show any evidence that you have understood or evaluated what you have read. Direct quotes (citations) Short quotes If the quotation is less than about thirty words, it should be contained within the text inside single quotation marks. For example: Cultural planning in regional communities is central to providing services other than roads, rates and rubbish. Academic and arts critic Drew Blundell claimed a town without art is a place without heart (2009, p. 60). Longer quotes Longer quotations should be set out as separate passages without quotation marks. The passage should be indented and typed in a smaller font or narrower line spacing than the rest of your text. For example: Many local government advocates believe that planning in regional communities is central to providing services other than roads, rates and rubbish. This strategy is supported by academic and art critic Drew Blundell who argues that Regional communities facing the challenges of shifting industries have the opportunity to revitalise and to tap into regional flagship programs if the community cultural programme continues. Bureaucrats bent on changing a successful program risk inflicting more harm on towns that are already hurting (2009, p. 13). Please note that paraphrased information ideas, concepts, thoughts and arguments from someone else that you have put in your own words - must also be referenced to acknowledge the source. For example: Regional cultural programs are critical to the health and well being of a community (Blundell, 2009, pp ). This guide is created and maintained by TAFE NSW Libraries. This guide is based on the Harvard style as set out in Snooks and Co. (rev.) 2002, Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, John Wiley & Sons Australia, Milton, Qld. Copies are available from all TAFE NSW libraries. A range of bibliography and reference guides are accessible from your TAFE NSW library website. Before using this referencing style, check for the style preferred by the Course Coordinator. Please note: Not all links in this guide will take you directly to the webpage cited. Some may require a login to access the citation. Links may also become out of date A student s basic guide to referencing: Harvard style July 2017 V2 Page 3 of 26

5 Acceptable abbreviations in the reference list include: ch. edn ed. (eds) Ltd n.d. n.p. no. chapter edition editor (editors) Limited no date no place number p. (pp.) page (pages) ser. suppl. rev. vol. (vols) series supplement revised volume (volumes) Note that where an abbreviation ends with the last letter of the word, no full stop is required. Some other points to note: Book titles are italicised. Minimal capitalisation is recommended. Capitalise only the first word of the title and any proper nouns. Journal titles are italicised. Maximal capitalisation* is recommended There is no comma or full stop between the authors' names and year of publication. Commas are used to separate all other elements. Give the journal name in full e.g. Journal of Immunology not J Immunol. Reference entries always finish with a full stop. Use angle brackets to contain web addresses. Place of publication is entered as city only unless the location is ambiguous or obscure where a qualification of state or country is added. Give the publisher as it appears in the item. Do not include the city or state if it is part of the publisher name. No edition number is given if the source is the first edition of a publication. In-text citation of multiple authors, use ampersand - & - before last author surname if inside brackets. Use and before last author surname if outside brackets. A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique identifier with a more stable link than a URL to a publication such as a journal article. When a DOI is available, no further retrieval information is needed to locate content. No concluding full stop is necessary following a DOI. viewed, accessed retrieved from available from" are sometimes used interchangeably, but viewed is used in this document. *First letters of all words in Journal title are capitalised except articles (unless articles are first word of title eg: the, a,in, of) Subtitles (after a colon) are similarly treated.

14 Government publications tips Treat a government document as a book, report, or brochure. Often the author of government publications is a department or agency. Cite the full name (use correct capitalisation of departments or agencies as they appear in the source) in the first instance and give the abbreviation in brackets. Then use the abbreviation in subsequent references. If a person is named on the title page, use her or him as author. If a document has no obvious author, cite the sponsoring agency as the author. If the authoring organisation is also the publisher, use the author's abbreviated form in the publisher's details. Document prepared by a branch or other division of a government agency - cite the agency as the author and acknowledge the branch or division after the title (In-text only refer to the agency). Government publications: Departmental author, print Departmental author, online What is different about higher education is 'the effective coupling and integration of the generic outcomes of a general education with preparation for specialised and professional participation in the workforce' (Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training 2002, p. 3). Name of Government Agency Year, page number. (Foreign Investment Review Board [FIRB] 2012, p. 1) For departmental authors with long names, spell out the full name of the body and include an abbreviation in square brackets in the first in-text reference.

15 Australian Bureau of Statistics (publication with identifying number includes report numbers, catalogue numbers, etc.) (Australian Bureau of Statistics [ABS] 2014) Use 'Australian Bureau of Statistics' as the Author and ABS in subsequent citations If included, use ABS catalogue number after the title Use 'cat. no.' for the catalogue number (Australian Bureau of Statistics Year) Australian Bureau of Statistics 2014, Overseas arrivals and departures, Australia, cat. no , ABS, viewed 3 October 2014, < 014?OpenDocument>.

Legal sources- tips Citations of Legislation (Acts, Bills) and Cases may be integrated into the sentence or cited in round brackets at the end of the sentence. Legislation (Acts, Bills), and Cases are cited in-text by title. Legislation (Acts, Bills), and Cases are only included in a list of references if they are important to the understanding of the work. Create a separate section for acts and bills within the reference list, under the sub-heading 'Legislation'. List acts and bills alphabetically. Create a separate section for cases within the reference list, under the sub-heading 'Cases'. List cases alphabetically. There is no full stop at the end of reference list entries for Acts, Bills or Cases. Even if viewed electronically, Legislation (Acts, Bills), and Cases are generally referenced as if in print. Legislations - Acts, Bills, Regulations, rules and by-laws, should be cited exactly - avoid altering spelling or capitalisation to suit the reference style. Articles (a, an or the) should not be omitted. Most Acts have a short formal title that can be used for citation purposes. Legislation viewed in an annotated legislation textbook is cited in Legislation format, not Book format, unless referring to the editorial commentary/analysis, rather than the legislative provision. Jurisdiction: - make it obvious in the text, e.g. Victoria's Equal opportunity Act 1995 prohibits' or place the abbreviated information in brackets after the date, e.g. the Copyright Act 1968 (Cwlth)... Units of division: - For sections, you may need pinpoint reference abbreviations. These should not appear at the beginning of a sentence. - for Acts and regulations, pinpoint references for page, paragraph, section, clause, etc. can be used. For example, s. = section; pt. = part, ss = sections. They should not appear at the beginning of a sentence: Examples: In ss 4-7of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cwlth)... The Commonwealth s Copyright Act 1968, s.4,... - for Bills pinpoint references are often to clauses or subclauses. For example, cl. = clause; sub-cl. - for Cases pinpoint reference to a page (number), paragraph (number in square brackets), section ('s' followed by number), etc. Use the term at rather than p (for page) eg Greutner v.

17 Conference papers: Use minimal capitalisation for conference names, but maximal for proper nouns such as the name of the organisation included in the conference name, eg, Proceedings of the thirty-third conference of the Society for International Orienteering: where are we now For Conference papers, distinguish between: conference proceedings: where the papers presented at a conference have been collected by an editor(s) and published and paper presented at a conference: an (unpublished) item from a conference not the collection of items from a conference (perhaps found on the internet or as a single manuscript) The citation pattern will be similar to a chapter in an edited book (see above). Adapt the citation for author or editor(s).
