- In this video we will give you a brief introduction to citing and referencing in the Harvard Style. It is aimed at those who are totally new to this type of writing.
Full Harvard Style Guide details can be found on UCD Library's Academic Integrity Guide here libguides.ucd.ie/harvardstyle...
Very useful, thank you
In text citation is using surname while references are using given name and a short form of the surname. not putting full surnames in the reference but the M.
It was very useful but should we include page number also?
Generally it is advised to use page numbers where a quotation of another person's words has been included. Some disciplines and academics prefer a page number to be included anywhere an idea from another person has been included. Always check with local guidance.
@@UCDLibrary How can you find the number of the page when isnt numbered? In other cases I have observed that there is a reference in which line is the text found. How can we find in which line is the text when isnt cited?
@@mariagouli3488 Hi Maria, if you need to insert a direct quote or have been instructed to include page numbers where none appear in the text you have a few options. For books, ebooks, journal articles etc. that do not include a page number we would recommend citing the chapter and/or paragraph number. For poems, you can use the line number instead of page number. You get the line number either in the text where the poem appears or by counting the number of lines in the poem.
Citing the Cottrell book for example with a chapter and paragraph number would look like this (Cottrell, 2013, ch. 2. para. 3).
UCDLibrary in papers you can get an automated citation. How can you add from scientific papers where is the paragraph or line that you use as a reference? Thank you for your time
@@mariagouli3488 You could try to insert the citation/reference in your paper and then edit the in-text citation/reference to add the line or paragraph number. Just to note, often these automatic citation services are not reliable. We recommend always using a style guide to check formats. If you have more questions, you should contact either your university library or academic advisors for the materials you are producing.
It's a real shame you don't show how to manage quotes in this. For some reason, most material showing people how the Harvard style works avoids clarifying that part of the referencing style. Why do you think that is? Is actually quoting a text within your sentence frowned upon?
Hello. Please refer to our online guide: libguides.ucd.ie/harvardstyle/quotationharvard for more about quotes.
Yeah, you're not encouraged to copy word for word. It's better to paraphrase.

THE WAT STANDARD - SOUTH AFRICA
“THE WATSON LEGAL ACRONYM STANDARD”
For the use of a legislative names, as an acronym, in any written form, the following set of Rules shall apply, as the uniform standard for such acronym/s**.
Rule One:
“of”, “and”, “the” - Which are contained in the legislative name do not form part of its acronym.
Example:
Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act = PEPUD Act
Rule Two:
If the legislative name has two parts or less, the inclusion of the “A” for Act, forming part of the acronym is acceptable.
Example:
National Credit Act = NCA
Criminal Procedure Act = CPA
Domestic Violence Act = DVA
Rule Three:
If the legislative name has three parts or more, while further applying Rule One, the “A” for Act is then omitted from the acronym, and same is added at the end of the acronym, as “Act”.
Example:
Protection of Personal Information Act = PPI Act
Electronic Communications and Transactions Act = ECT Act
Public Finance Management Act = PFM Act
Promotion of Access to Information Act = PAI Act
Road Accident Fund Act = RAF Act
Government-wide Immovable Asset Management Act = GIAM Act
Kindly take note: The use of an acronym of an Act, shall by implication also include any Amendments to that legislation, unless the context in which the acronym implies otherwise.
Example: Criminal Procedure Amendment Act 65 of 2008 = CPA
** An acronym is a word or name composed of the first letters of each word of a title or description. For example, SAPS is an acronym for South Africa Police Serve.
For students and researchers citing Irish legal materials, please refer to OSCOLA Ireland Guide (libguides.ucd.ie/academicintegrity/oscola). Thanks for that information on citing South African legal materials Wesley.
