Summary:

In this post I

– Gave examples of the citations I created myself after reading the Harvard Referencing Guide from UCA

Referencing examples:

After having a conversation with my brother who recommended I create a few templates to refer to in the future when it comes to my assignments, research and such, I decided to visit the Harvard Referencing guide (UCA, 2014) provided on the UCA library which I will link if you too are struggling.

One of the example’s I created for myself to practice is as follows;

BOOK: Surname, Initial. (Year) Book title Place: Publisher.

Example for bibliography: Rowling, J.K. (1997) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone London: Bloomsbury Publishing.

CITATION: ‘quote’, (Surname, year:page number).


Example for citation (in text) : ‘Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much’, (Rowling, 1997:7).

‘Note: If there is more than one edition of the book you need to state which edition you are referring to. Different editions may have different information, page numbers etc. This is not the same as a reprinted version, which does not include a change of format’, (UCA, 2014:6).

I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of it after sitting and creating multiple versions for a few hours, so hopefully research will go smoothly in the future.
