Harvard Referencing Style Guide
Basics of referencing
- When referring to any work that is NOT a journal, such as a book, article, or web page, capitalise only the first letter of the first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- The List of references is ordered alphabetically by primary authors' surnames.
- Capitalise all major words in journal titles, full names for journal titles and not abbreviations.
- If within the same paragraph, reference is made to the same author or authors for a second time, the year of publication is left out in the second and further references.
- Always cite page numbers within in-text citation – even if paraphrasing.
Here is a list of the various documents you can reference:
- Books
- E-books
- Edited book collections
- Journal articles (print)
- Journal accessed via a database
- Journal articles (published via webpage)
- Government publications
- Unpublished material (thesis, manuscript, unpublished paper)
- ABS statistics
- Brochure
