REFERENCING

Referencing acknowledges the sources that you use to write your essay or assignment paper. Please see the section of this guide regarding intellectual honesty and plagiarism.

In-text citations are used throughout your writing to acknowledge the sources of your information. The full references for the citations are then listed at the end of your assignment paper in the Reference list.

It is important to first consult your unit outline, lecturer or tutor for the preferred citation style for each unit you undertake.

ACADEMIC HONESTY AND PLAGIARISM

At Western Sydney University plagiarism falls within the framework of the Student MisconductRule and its associated guidelines.

Further information about the importance of academic honesty is available on the Library website.

ABOUT THE HARVARD WESTERNSYDU STYLE

The Harvard WesternSydU style is one of a number of styles of referencing or bibliographic citation that is used widely for academic writing. It is an author-date system e.g. (Mullane 2006).

This guide covers basic explanations and examples for the most common types of citations used by students. This citation guide is based on the author-date system used in the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (eds Commonwealth Department of Finance and Administration & Snooks and Co. 2002), an Australian government publication which is available at all campus libraries. Please consult this publication for further examples and explanation:

Commonwealth Department of Finance and Administration & Snooks and Co. (eds) 2002, Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, John Wiley & Sons Australia, Brisbane.

IN-TEXT CITATION: REFERENCING SOURCES WITHIN THE TEXT

Throughout the text of your paper you need to acknowledge the sources you used to write your paper. Whenever you present a statement of evidence such as a quote, or when you use someone

else’s ideas, opinions or theories in your own words (paraphrasing), you must acknowledge your sources. Some examples of how to cite sources within your paper are given below.

If you use the name of the author(s) in your writing, place the year of publication of the work in parentheses after the author’s name.

If you refer to a work in the text of your paper, place the author’s last name and the year of publication of the work in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

Note: When you summarise the general idea of a source in your own words, you must cite the author and year of publication of the work as shown below. Harvard WesternSydU style does not require you to provide the page number unless you use a direct quote, however if you paraphrase or summarise a specific paragraph or section you should consider including the page number.

If you directly quote fewer than 30 words, enclose the quotation by single quotation marks within the text. The year of publication of the work along with the page number(s)* of the quote should be provided in parentheses.

* When there are no page numbers available, use a section name if it is given in the text e.g. Jones (2008, sec. 1). Use abbreviations such as vol. (volume), vols (volumes), sec. (section), secs (sections). If no other identifying information is available use the abbreviation n.p. (no page).

If the quotation is greater than 30 words it should be displayed in a double-spaced, indented block (1.3 cm) without quotation marks. It should be introduced in your own words.

When you use more than one source for a statement that you write, the citation can be presented using semi-colons between works as follows, in alphabetical order by surname:

REFERENCE LIST

A reference list includes details of the sources cited in your paper. It starts on a separate page at the end of your assignment paper and is titled References. Each item cited in the reference list must have been cited in your paper. All sources appearing in the reference list must be ordered alphabetically by surname.

All sources that you cite in your writing are listed in detail at the end of your document in a reference list, with the exception of all personal communications, as well as dictionary entries, newspaper articles or encyclopaedia entries where no author is ascertainable. These sources are cited in-text only.

You may sometimes need to include sources that are not cited in your paper but which supported

your research. In Harvard WesternSydU style, when you list non-cited sources and cited sources, the consolidated list is called a Bibliography. As with a reference list, the items should be listed in alphabetical order.

The reference list should be single spaced, with one line space between references and no indentation.

Italics is the preferred format for titles of books, journals and videos. Article and chapter titles are put in single quotation marks but are not italicised.

Capitalisation in the Harvard WesternSydU style is very specific and is kept to a minimum. The following general rules apply:

Book titles – capitalise the first letter of the first word of the title, but not the first letter of the first word after a colon.

e.g. Ageing and aged care in Australia

Brave new brain: conquering mental illness in the era of the genome

Journal and newspaper titles – capitalise first letter of each word except ‘and’, ‘of’ etc.

e.g. Journal of Educational Psychology

Article, chapter or section titles – enclose the title in single quotation marks and capitalise only the first letter of the first word.

e.g. ‘Personal resilience as a strategy for surviving and thriving in the face of workplace adversity: a literature review’

Pronouns, acronyms and abbreviations that are normally capitalised should be capitalised in the reference list and citations. For further information on capitalisation, see examples on the following pages for each reference type and refer to pages 190-191 of the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (eds Commonwealth Department of Finance and Administration & Snooks and Co. 2002).

ELECTRONIC ITEMS

When referencing electronic resources from a database you need to include the database name,

after the date that the item was viewed. If it is not clear that the source is a database, include the word database after the name. References to items that are publicly assessable via the Internet should include the date viewed and exact URL.

REFERENCING SECONDARY SOURCES

Sometimes you may want to quote or paraphrase a source (A) that is referred to within another source (B). You should not cite source A as though you read it from the original work. You must cite source A through the secondary source (B) from which you actually read it.

For example, the book you are using is written by Smith who quotes another author called Jones. In your essay you wish to use Jones’ idea. In-text you should acknowledge both the primary source (Jones) and secondary source (Smith) as follows:

Provide the details of the secondary source in your reference list:

WORKS BY MULTIPLE AUTHORS

IN-TEXT CITATIONS

If a work has one, two or three authors cite all names every time the reference occurs in-text. If a work has more than three authors include only the first author followed by et al. (meaning “and others”) e.g. (Schneider et al. 2007). If two different references shortened in this manner become the same, include as many names as is necessary to distinguish them.

REFERENCE LIST

In the reference list all authors should be included except when there are 7 or more authors. In these instances, give the first six authors and abbreviate the remaining authors to et al. E.g. Davis, M, Charles, L, Curry, MJ, Shanti, P, Prasad, S, Hewings, A et al. 2003

See examples under Books, book chapters and brochures.

DIFFERENT WORKS OF THE SAME AUTHOR AND SAME YEAR

If you have references for multiple works by the same author, these are distinguished by the year of publication. However, if you have references to works of the same author published in the same year, differentiate the works by including ‘a’, ‘b’ or ‘c’ etc. after the year when citing in-text and in the references list. E.g.

Reference list	Jones, C 1999a, Assessing hypotheses, Western Sydney University, Penrith. Jones, C 1999b, Forming hypotheses, Western Sydney University, Penrith. Jones, C 2008, Developing hypotheses, Western Sydney University, Penrith. Note: The earliest publication date should be listed first in the reference list.
In-text citation	Jones (1999a) stated… Jones (1999b) stated… Jones (2008) stated… Note: Different authors with the same surname can be distinguished in-text by initials e.g. J Brown (1997) and C Brown (1997)
