How to do a real Havard Referencing?

joeacid SG

Hi guys, I have done quite a number of assignments in the past and have also tried to use the Havard Referencing. But i never know which is the real Havard Referencing. Is there a confirm one for me to follow?

And although i have been practicing it, i realised that since coursework are never returned, i had never knew whether what i have done is correct or what do i have to do to make it correct.

Can anyone pls show me the correct format for a Havard Referencing or if its possible, is there an assignment where u think is possible to let me read and look at how you did the Referencing? Thanks alot Smile

If your insitute has the software 'endnote', download it.

Really help in doing your referencing. Especially if you have like over 50 references. Can change the referencing as you like it. Harvard Referencing surely there.

If you r like me doing biology, you can even download these references into a library in your computer through pubmed. No typing required. Love this software.

You can also download the trial version here. http://www.endnote.com/endemo.asp

ahhh.. so thats what endnote n pubmed is for....

also, best he learn manually..cant rely all the time on software.

yuppy4life SG

hehehe, I never learn at all... Now all forget already.

During my first 2 yrs in uni, I spent ages trying to type my references. Till I learn wonders of endnote. Cool

Tis is how I did mine.. so far so good Mr. Green

Actually for the headings n titles, can use italics or underlines. I used underlines for better impact

erm.. APA is actually quite different from harvard.

anyway .. even in hardvard style referencing.. there's soo many versions.

but juz remember ur in-text citation

and your reference list shld be:

Cao, C. 2004, Zhongguancun and Chinas high-tech parks in transition---Growing Pains or Premature Senility, University of California Press, vol XLIV, no 5, pp. 13-17.

something like this would do fine

For example:

In-text: Mahoney & Trigg (2001) propose that...

or: it has been reported, blah blah....(Mahoney & Trigg, 2001).

Bibliography: Mahoney, D. & Trigg, M., International business: a managerial perspective, 2 nd edn, Pearson Education, Sydney, 2001.

alexkusu SG

alexkusu SG

Like this:

Bak B BPR online Learning Centre (2003), "Overview of change management", viewed 16 Feb. 2004,
< http://www.prosci.com/Change_managementOverview.htm>.

^spidee^ SG

the date is actually the same, i typed wrongly. Razz

so it's something like:

Agocs, C. (1997), "Institutionalized resistance to organizational change: denial, inaction and repression", Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 16, No. 9, pp. 917-931.
