Harvard Citing and Referencing Online

This is an online webinar run from the Edinburgh campus and starts at 10:00 Edinburgh time (GMT).  Please check the time in your local time zone - 14:00 Dubai (GST) | 18:00 Malaysia (MYT)

 

This webinar will help you learn how to cite and reference using a Harvard style.  Harvard is an author-date referencing style where the citations use names and publication years, e.g. (Smith, 2021) or (Heriot-Watt University, 2019).  If you need to use a numbered/numeric referencing style (i.e. where the reference is a number and not a name) you should sign up for the Citing and Referencing: IEEE webinar.

 

This webinar is aimed at those who are new to using Harvard citing and referencing, or those who want a refresher.  It gives an overview of the what, why, when and how of citing and referencing, along with hints and tips to make citing and referencing easier.

 

Correct citing and referencing is a requirement for your dissertation. You should develop your understanding of a topic using credible academic and professional sources.  Correct citing and referencing can show your marker the range of sources you have used and can help you avoid accidental plagiarism.

 

There are many versions of Harvard and examples in this session will use the Harvard HWU Cite Them Right style, but it will also be useful if you have been told to use any version of Harvard or any other author-date style. 

Note:

  • The Harvard HWU Cite Them Right Style is one of the styles you can use in EndNote.  EndNote can help ensure consistency in your citations and references.  Please sign up to an EndNote 20 webinar for further help/information.
