7 Bodleian Social Science Library Chatzimarkakis breached university policy by failing to quote direct passages of other works appropriately; instead of using quotation marks to show that the passage was not written by Chatzimarkakis, he simply used a footnote at the end of the text referring to the work it came from. "Such a practice gives the impression that it is Chatzimarkakis who is speaking, while in reality texts of other authors are being reproduced."

17 Bodleian Social Science Library Referencing styles Harvard Author-date system Use for broader social science approaches Includes some, but not all legal citations (e.g. international treaties) OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for Citation Of Legal Authorities) Footnote system Use for legal essays Citation of authorities, legislation, and other legal documents

18 Bodleian Social Science Library Inserting citations - Paraphrasing Restating an idea in your own words More detailed view of an idea than summarizing, but can be misleading avoid if possible Example* People's willingness to obey authority figures cannot be explained by psychological factors alone. In an earlier era, people may have had the ability to invest in social situations to a greater extent. However, as society has become increasingly structured by a division of labor, people have become more alienated from situations over which they do not have control (Milgram, 1974, p.737) * Example modified and taken from: Anon, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Quoting Harvard Guide to Using Sources. Available at: [Accessed February 18, 2014].

19 Bodleian Social Science Library Inserting citations - Quoting Quote only when necessary When meaning would be lost if summarized You are discussing the language used Use for short quotations of 1 to 2 sentences As Amartya Sen (1999, p.10) writes, Freedoms are not only the primary ends of development, they are also among its principal means.

20 Bodleian Social Science Library Inserting citations Indented block text The increasing cultural influence of the West is indicative of the West s growing dominance: The contemporary world is dominated by the West, and even though the imperial authority of the erstwhile rulers of the world has declined, the dominance of the West remains as strong as ever-in some ways stronger than before, especially in cultural matters. The sun does not set on the empire of Coca-cola or MTV. (Sen, 1999, p.240) The nature of this cultural imperialism has widespread implications for how we measure the impact that

21 Bodleian Social Science Library Inserting citations using Harvard Up to three authors cite all named authors (Adams, Weiss and Coatie, 2010) Use et al. for more than three authors (Lauren et al., 2006) Every author is given in the bibliography If the source is anonymous use the title instead
