, How to Harvard reference
You can reference information in your work in two ways; directly (quoting straight from
the source) and indirectly (rewording what you have read).
Direct referencing:
“Chocolate has a variety of uses in cooking” (Davies, 2013).
Indirect referencing:
As Davies (2013) states, when cooking chocolate can be used in many ways.
If there are more than 2 authors than you only write the first author’s surname followed by
et al.
“Chocolate has a variety of uses in cooking” (Davies et al, 2013).
If you have read a paragraph from a website/book and put it in your own words at the end of
the paragraph write: (Authors surname, Year of publication).
Please note with direct referencing you can only quote up to 1 line.
Bibliography
At the end of an essay you should always have a bibliography. This is an alphabetically
organised list with all the sources you have used. You cannot just put the weblink in you have
to reference this list too!
Below is a guide on how you can reference a variety of sources. You do not need to
memorise this, you can use this sheet as a guide when writing your bibliography.
