2Harvard Referencing Style
Referencing in Harvard - University of Sunderland style
The reference list contains the details of the source, from which a piece of information
has been used in the original academic article. This list allows the readers to reach out to
those sources. To enable this access, reference lists needs to contain important information
like: Author name, publication year, title, and publication city and used pages.
In the Harvard Referencing style, the references in the reference list should be
arranged alphabetically based on the last name of the author. The list should be placed on
another page. Citations from multiple works by the same author should be arranged according
to their dates. Ideally double pacing should be kept in the list, and should refer to all the in
text citations contained in the main article ( My.sunderland.ac.uk 2018; Mendeley.com 2018)
In Texting style:
The in text should be provided after quoting or paraphrasing an original source. The
in text should contain the last name of author and year.
