Introduction to Harvard referencing – CCE style
The Caledonian College of Engineering encourages the use of Harvard referencing style. This document provides general guidelines and examples to help you use Harvard referencing - CCE style. Please note that this document is to be specifically used by CCE staff and students to ensure consistency in referencing across the college. This will vary from other versions of Harvard referencing widely available on the internet and with other institutions. The main purpose of this document is to properly record information of your sources and enable others to locate them easily.
Scope & Key Features of the Document
This document is comprehensive in its scope even though its main purpose is to provide a quick point of reference to its users. It may not encompass all the sources used for reference but effort has been made to include the most frequently used as well as the most relevant.
This document is arranged in the alphabetical order of the types of sources, along with examples of full and in-text references, for each of the type. Effort has also been made to ensure that one reference is fully presented in a table to ensure clarity of data contained. It is hoped that this document will prove useful to all its users.
What is referencing?
Referencing means acknowledging the sources of information or ideas you have used in an assignment, journal article or a report or any similar academic work. It is the standardised method which indicates that you have read widely, understood how to find and use information from various sources (including books, journals, tables, diagrams, illustrations, web-pages and so on). It also demonstrates your academic scholarship in that you have used a range of ideas from various sources to support your arguments in your work. Referencing also helps you to show your academic honesty and avoid unintentional plagiarism.
What is Harvard style of referencing?
The Harvard style of referencing is an author-date system of citing your sources of information. In this system, the author's surname and year of publication are cited in the text of your work. The full details of the book are included in a reference list at the end of your assignment or academic work.
Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
CCE has a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. It is expected that students and staff display the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty and avoid plagiarism of any form. Plagiarism is the act of deliberately passing on someone else’s work, published or unpublished, as your own, without substantially acknowledging the work so incorporated. Failure to appropriately reference could result in unintentional plagiarism. Some examples of what constitutes plagiarism are given below.
extensive use of another person's material without reference or acknowledgement, summarising of another person's work by simply changing a few words or altering the
order or presentation without acknowledgement, substantial and unauthorised use of the ideas of another person without
acknowledgement of the source, copying the work of another student with or without that student's knowledge or
agreement,

Deliberate use of commissioned material from work place presented as the student's own work.
Please refer to Page 55 of the Student Guide (2013-14) for detailed information relating to Penalties for Student Misconduct / Academic Irregularities.
When do we use Referencing?
You need to include a reference,
a. every time you use other people’s ideas, information or work within your work, for example, assignments, project reports and papers,
b. when you re-write or paraphrase someone else’s ideas, opinions or theory in your own words,
c. when you re-write in brief or summarise someone else’s ideas, opinions or theory in your own words,
d. when you use someone else’s ideas exactly in their own words or quote (usually termed as verbatim quote),
e. reproduce or copy diagrams, graphs, statistics, drawings or tables from someone else’s work
How should I use references?
In your academic work you must include references in two ways:
a. as a short reference within the text of your assignment each time you use someone else’s idea, theory or work. This is called in-text reference or in-text citation. This usually has the author’s surname or family name and year of publication and sometimes the page number for verbatim quotes. For example,
A recent study undertaken (Brown, 1999) supports this claim.
A recent study undertaken by Brown (1999) supports this claim.
‘This theory is supported by a recent study’ (Brown, 1999, p. 25).
b. as a complete list at the end of your assignment or academic work. This usually has
full details of the sources of information which will enable your tutor or the reader to find the sources easily. This is called the Reference List. Reference List is not the same as Bibliography (see next section for full details).
Reference list versus Bibliography
The Reference List must include details of all the sources that you have cited in your assignment or academic work. When putting up the reference list you should take care of the following:
a. Use the title ‘References’ and not Reference List. b. Include all the works cited, that is, the works that you have used for your assignment
(e.g. books, journals, diagrams, tables, videos and electronic sources) in a single list. You must not separate journals, books etc., into separate lists under separate headings.
c. Arrange all the references in alphabetical order by author’s surname or family name. d. You must include all the details – author, date, title, publisher, place of publication
and page numbers (if any).
Bibliography is a list of all the works you have consulted / read to prepare yourself for the assignment but not necessarily used in writing or cited in your assignment. You need not include a bibliography unless you are specifically asked to do so (for example, a research proposal for your dissertation). Usually bibliography contains works that are not cited but are relevant and of interest to the reader.

Harvard Referencing (CCE-Style) Document, CCE-LTAS, First Edition, September 2013 Rev 0.0 Page 5 of 21
A reference list is limited to only those items that you have used within your assignment and given in-text citation.
Quotes and Ellipses
If you are using exactly the same words from an original literature in your academic work with reference it is called a quote or a quotation. A quotation can be short or long depending on its length, which is the number of words.
Short quotations are usually a few words in length and do not exceed 30 words. Short quotations should be put in single quotation marks (‘…’) and as part of a sentence. They are followed by an in-text citation including the page number from which it is taken. For example,
A recent report showed that ‘the levels in the soil were at critical levels’ (Ang, 2005, p.6)
Or
Ang talks about a recent report that showed ‘the levels in the soil were at critical levels’ (2005, p. 6)
Long quotations usually have a length of more than 30 words. Long quotations should be written without any quotation marks and as a separate paragraph indented on both sides. Long quotes should be introduced in your own words. You can use a smaller font size. They should be followed by an in-text citation including the page number from which it is taken. For example,
Bloggs (2007, p. 348) is more critical:
I don’t agree with this at all, the argument is poorly made and does not hold up to any scrutiny. One begins to wonder if we shall ever see any sense from this organisation on this subject at any time in the next one hundred years.
Sometimes you can leave out some words that are not essential in a quote by using three dots (…). This is called ellipses. For example,
Australians have developed:
An emerging interest in values, vision, meaning and purpose which is the common characteristic of societies facing the end of a chronological era … each new decade is approached as if it holds some new promise (Mackay 1993, p.231).
The three dots after era indicate the ellipses, which mean that a word or words have been left out.
Note: Avoid quoting excessively in your academic work as this is considered poor academic authorship and there is no substantive argument from your side.
How should a Reference be structured?
A reference generally has the following key information
Author’s Surname, A. A. and Second-Author, B. B. Date. Title of the work. Location: Publisher’s Name
Please check the appropriate format for various types of sources from the table given in this booklet.
Formatting and your references using Microsoft Word ®
References are formatted with a ‘hanging indent’ in all academic and professional work. You can use Microsoft Word
® to format
all your references with hanging indent. First, type all the references using the Harvard referencing system in your document. Then select all the references either using Shift+ or Ctrl + A by selecting the text with the mouse. Now, right-click on the selection to get this context-menu and click on ‘Paragraph…’

Harvard Referencing (CCE-Style) Document, CCE-LTAS, First Edition, September 2013 Rev 0.0 Page 6 of 21
You will get the following screen prompt. In the indents and spacing tab, select ‘Hanging’ by clicking on the drop-down list (See highlighted areas in the picture below). That is it, you have got all your references formatted in the way it should be!
Sorting your references using Microsoft Word ®
In Harvard referencing all the references are sorted in the alphabetical order. You can use Microsoft Word
® to sort all your references with just a few clicks. First, select all the
references either using Shift+ or Ctrl + A or by selecting the text with the mouse. Now, in
the ‘Home’ tab look for the ‘sort’ button and click it.
You will get the following screen prompt. In the ‘Sort by’ section select paragraph, in the ‘Type’ section select ‘Text’, click ‘Ascending’ and finally click ‘OK’. Voilà, all your references are sorted alphabetically!

Secondary Referencing
There are two ways you can approach a secondary reference:
1. You locate the original research so that you can read, use and cite directly from this. This is often the preferred method as this shows that you have widened the research for your own work.
2. In some instances this may not be possible as the original research may be difficult to find or gain access to. If you are confident that the secondary source is reliable and accurate you can refer to it in your own work using the Harvard rules for secondary referencing.
Referencing Format for secondary is the same as primary sources in bibliography.

How do I reference when some details are missing?
When you cannot find an obvious publication date, you should check the content and references to work out the earliest likely date and indicate that in the reference, both in-text and in the reference list. The following are some examples on how you can do it:
1. 1995? (a question mark after the year indicates probable year) 2. ca. 1995 (ca. before the year indicates approximately 1995) 3. 199- (a hyphen in the year place indicates that you are certain of the decade but not
the year) 4. 199? (a question mark in the year place indicates probable decade)
On some occasions it may not be possible for you to identify an author, place or publisher. This is usually the case with ‘grey literature’ where it is difficult to trace via traditional channels like journals, databases and so on. More often than not government documents, leaflets and other less official (informal) materials fall into this category. The following are some examples on how you can reference these:
1. Anon (using Anon indicates that the author is not identifiable and therefore anonymous)
2. s.l. (Latin: sine loco indicates that the location cannot be ascertained) 3. s.n. (Latin: sine nomine indicates that no named publisher could be ascertained) 4. n.d. (simply mean there is no date of publication found)
Information such as place and publisher not found on the document, but traced from other sources, should be placed in square brackets.
Note: You should, however be very careful about using the above mentioned documents as supporting evidence material where you cannot identify the author, date or source in your assignments or academic work.
