The aim of today’s workshop is to develop your skills in Referencing your assignments, using the Harvard Style.

What is referencing?

Referencing is the process of acknowledging and naming the source(s) of information you use when you write an assignment.

Every assignment you write at university will need to be referenced.

Academic integrity

Academic integrity refers to a commitment in an academic setting, to act within the values of honesty, respect, trust, fairness and responsibility in learning.

Academic integrity & plagiarism

Referencing sources is expected behaviour in tertiary studies. It is behaviour that demonstrates honesty, respect, trust, fairness and responsibility.

Failure to reference sources in an assignment results in a breach of academic integrity values.

A breach of academic integrity in relation to referencing is commonly referred to as plagiarism.

Plagiarism is defined as:

“…the act of representing the ideas or work of another person(s) as one’s own original work, by copying or reproducing that work without acknowledgement of the source…”

Academic integrity & plagiarism

At La Trobe College Australia Academic Integrity expectations, breaches and penalties are outlined in the Academic Integrity Policy.

Avoiding Plagiarism

There are two main ways to avoid plagiarism:

Provide in-text citations in all of your assignments

AND

2. Include a reference list in all of your assignments

Harvard style of referencing

Harvard style of referencing is one of many styles that may be applied in acknowledging sources.

The following examples of in text citations & reference list format are based on the Harvard style.

Refer to La Trobe university Academic Referencing Tool for more information on Harvard and other styles

https ://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/referencing-tool /

Ensure you use only one style in each assignment, as directed by your lecturer and /or tutor. Never combine different styles, as this will result in lower grades in the assessment piece.

In-Text Citations

An in-text citation is a reference made within the body of text of an academic essay.

The in-text citation alerts the reader to a source that has informed your own writing.

In-text citations may be in the form of:

Direct quotations

Indirect quotes (commonly referred to as paraphrasing)

In-Text Citations

Direct Quotations:

Involves using an author’s words exactly as they were written.

Should only be used if the meaning or effect of the original text would be lost when paraphrased, definitions are one example

Must use “double quotation marks” to signify where the quote begins and ends

Three key pieces of information must be included next to the words: Authors name, year of publication of reference & page number where the words are located in the authors text.

In-Text Citations

Direct Quote in-text citation examples:

Example 1

Metcalf (2005, p. 184) states that "the Nuer of southern Sudan lacked any institutions of governance; no chiefs or councils of elders, no armies or law enforcement"

Example 2

"the Nuer of southern Sudan..." (Metcalf 2005, p. 184)

Example 3 Snow (2010, pp. 23–24) asserts that "..."

In-Text Citations

Indirect Quotations (Paraphrasing)

Paraphrasing involves taking a passage - either spoken or written - and rewording it.

When paraphrasing, it is important to keep the original meaning so that the facts remain intact.

Basically, you are writing something in your own words that still expresses the original idea.

In-Text Citations

Indirect Quote (paraphrasing) in-text citation examples:

Example 1

Critical anthropology is a ...(Metcalf 2005, p. 184)

Example 2 Metcalf (2005, p. 184) propounded the idea that... .

Reference list

A reference list contains full details of all sources cited in text. 

Some basic rules:

The reference list is always at the end of your writing

Start on a new page

Employ a consistent style e.g. Harvard style for all references listed

Only include those references that you have cited in-text;

Sources should be listed alphabetically, by surname (family name) If you are unsure which is the family name ASK your teacher.

Example of how to cite a Journal article :journal article in your reference list:

Surname, initial Year of publication, ‘Title of article’, Name of Journal, volume, issue, page spread.

 

Example:

Baxter, J and Bittman, M 1995, ‘Measuring time spent in housework: A comparison of two approaches’, Australian Journal of Social Research, vol.1, no.3, pp. 21-46.

Example of how to cite a text book in your reference list :

Surname, initial & Surname, initial Year of publication, Title of book, publisher, Place of publication.

Example:

Davidson, P & Griffin, R W 2000, Management, John Wiley & Sons Australia, Australia.

Example of how to cite a webpage in your reference list :

Author year, title of article on web page, name of organisation or website, viewed date, URL

Example:

Australian nursing and midwifery council 2010, “A nurses guide to professional boundaries”, Nursing midwifery board, viewed 6 may 2015
