the author/date system) and, for law students or in dissertations, the numeric system.
Different subject areas use slight variations of these systems (and other systems do exist)
so you must consult your course/module handbook for clarification of the specific
conventions that you are expected to use within your subject area(s).
References need to appear in two places:
1. within the body of your writing include: author’s surname, year of publication
and, if quoting, the exact page number from which the quote is taken;
2. in the bibliography include at least: author’s surname, initial(s), year of
publication, title of text/chapter, edition, publisher & place of publication; see
page 3 for specific details that apply to referencing different sources.
1.1 References within the body of the text - Harvard System
There are two ways in which you can reference, or cite, another person's work:
a) by paraphrasing; this shows you have fully interpreted what you have read - see
Learning Skills Help Sheet on How to Paraphrase;
b) by quoting directly; follow with a comment to show relevance/understanding
If the direct quotation is more than two lines, you should indent it as a separate
paragraph e.g.:
As Cottrell (2003, p.148) points out
“Our views of what is ‘intelligent’ can prevent us from developing our minds to
their full potential. People who feel they are ‘not very bright’ or ‘no t very
creative’ probably will fulfil that estimation of themselves. On the other hand,
positive thinking and constructive mental activity develop the mind.”
Citing secondary sources:
If you are referencing a work cited by the author of the text you are reading, you should
cite the original work as being within a secondary source i.e. what you have read, not
what the writer of the book you are reading has read, using the following method:
According to De Bono (1994, cited in Cottrell, 2003, p.148), “clever people are
often hampered by their apparent intelligence in two ways:” they are good at
arguing and defending their point of view; they indulge in negative criticism which
is a quick, easy and dramatic way of proving someone wrong.

Referencing & Bibliographies
1.2 Referencing within the body of text - Numeric System
The exact same rules and principles apply to paraphrasing and quoting however,
rather than inserting the author surname and year of publication within the text, a
superscripted number is inserted at the end of the paraphrase or quote, and the
reference appears as a footnote at the bottom of the page e.g.:
There were many changes in the British diet in the period after 1870. Fruit
became more common, especially in the form of fruit jam. Even the fish-and-
chip shop dates from the same period.1
(Note: See bottom of this page for associated footnote.)
To insert footnotes using Word, click on the place
in your document where you want to insert the
footnote.
Then click on the Insert menu, select Reference,
then click on Footnote.
Another window will then open that will allow you to format the
footnotes manually, if you require.
Once the footnote has been inserted in the text and it appears
at the bottom of the page, click next to the number at the
bottom to add the reference details: author surname, initial(s),
publication year, title of work/article, page number, etc.
Once you have referenced an author for the first time using the numeric system
you do not have to repeat that same reference in full again. If the same work is
referenced consecutively on the same page use:
ibid. = (from the Latin ‘ibidem’, meaning ‘the same’) or
op.cit.= (from the Latin ‘opere citado’ meaning ‘in the work already cited’) If the same work is referenced on another page, list the author’s surname, initials
and date of publication again followed by op.cit. and the page number.
Different page numbers for the citations you use must be listed with each footnote
(see example below).2

Using RefWorks
RefWorks is a very handy online tool that, with correct use, enables you to:
o create a database of reading lists that can be organised into folders
o create a bibliographic list that can be imported into your word document To log in to RefWorks use your Athens username and password.
NOTE: before you start to use RefWorks it is highly advisable that you either look at
the guidance on the library home page /page-611or work
through the online tutorials. RefWorks is not a tool that can be learned in 5 minutes
and used as a last minute quick fix if you are behind on an assignment.
Remember, as with any assignment, you should ensure that once you have imported
your bibliography you edit and format it to match your departmental protocol;
bibliographical information created using RefWorks may be formatted in an
alternative way.
