Harvard Referencing - Doncaster

Guide to the style of Harvard referencing required by Doncaster College.

Examples

Secondary references are where one author quotes the work of another, but you do not have access to the original source

 Example within the text:

Buzan (1974 cited in Barnes 1992) says that a good summary of a lecture is often more useful than writing extensive notes

 Example of a book reference:

 Barnes, R. (1992) Successful study for degrees. London: Routledge.


Other references follow the same format of the resource in front of you.  i.e. if it is from a webpage reference the webpage, for a journal reference the journal etc.
