    For referencing and citations, the Harvard style is the recommended referencing format. Other styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago may be used but a single format must be used consistently throughout the thesis.
    Harvard style referencing is an author-date referencing system. Sources are cited within the body of your assignment by giving the name of the author(s) followed by the date of publication. All other details about the publication are given in the list of references or bibliography at the end.
    Below are several reference formats using the Harvard style adapted from https://www.citethisforme.com/harvard-referencing and https://www.mendeley.com/guides/harvard-citation-guide.

    1. In-text citations

    In-text references are references written within the main body of text and refer to a quote or paraphrase. In-text citations contain the author(s)’s or editor(s)’s surname and year of publication. Examples:

    When citing a source with one author, state the surname as below: In a recent study by Brown (2020)…. Or …(Brown, 2020).

    When citing a source with two or three authors, state all surnames as below: In a recent study by Smith, Perry and Thomson (2017)… Or …(Smith, Perry and Thomson, 2017).

    When citing a source with four or more authors, state first author’s surname followed by ‘et al’: In a recent study by Micheal et al (2019)… Or … (Micheal et al, 2019)

    When citing a source with no author, use the organisation responsible for the post in place of the author, or use the title in italics. Use the first few words if the title is too long: (WHO, 2017) , Or (The guide to virus taxonomy, 2016)

    When citing multiple works from the same author in the same year, the works are allocated a letter (a, b, c etc) after the year: (Mitchell, 2017a) or Mitchell (2017b)

    When citing multiple works in one parentheses, list the in-text citations in the normal way but with semicolons between different references: (Mitchell, 2017; Smith, 2010; Andrews, 1989)

    When citing a reference with no date, use ‘n.d.’ in place of the year: (Crick, n.d.).

    2. Reference list

    A complete list of all the cited references used in your work with full bibliographic details. Generally, Harvard Reference List citations follow this format: Last name, First Initial. (Year published). Title. City: Publisher, Page(s). Citations are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If there are multiple sources by the same author, then citations are listed in order by the date of publication.
