Why reference/cite?
References must be provided whenever you use someone elses opinions, theories, data or
organisation of material. You need to reference information from books, articles, DVDs, the
World Wide Web, other print or electronic sources and personal communications. A
reference is required if you:
quote (use someone elses exact words)
copy (use figures, tables or structure)
paraphrase (convert someone elses ideas into your own words)
summarise (give a brief account of someone elses ideas).
How to reference
There are two parts to the Harvard (author-date) system of referencing:
1. The author and the date are referred to in the text or main body of your writing
(called in-text referencing or citing).
2. All of the resources referred to in the body of the writing are included in the
reference list at the end of the assignment. All information is included in this list:
author, date, title of publication, publisher and place of publication.
When you reference sources of information in the text of your assignmentregardless of
whether you quote, paraphrase or summariseyou should include:
the authors surname (family name)
the year of publication
page numbers when directly quoting or closely paraphrasing an authors
words/material or referring to specific information on a particular page
correct punctuation and spacing.
In-text references
There are two ways of referencing in-text: author prominent and information prominent.
Author-prominent
This way gives prominence to the author by using the authors surname (family name) as
part of your sentence with the date and the page number in brackets.
Direct quote example
Unterhalter (2007, p. 5) argues that gender equality in schooling is an aspiration of global
social justice.
P a g e | 2
Note: Include the page number when quoting the authors exact words.
Paraphrase example
According to Unterhalter (2007, p. 5), equal treatment of the genders in education should
be the goal of every just society.
Note: Include the page number when citing information from a specific page. This is
particularly important when citing a lengthy document.
Information-prominent
The other way of referencing gives prominence to the information, with all the required
referencing details given in brackets after the citation.
Direct quote example
It has been argued that gender equality in schooling is an aspiration of global social justice
(Unterhalter 2007, p. 5).
Note: Include the page number when quoting the authors exact words.
Paraphrase example
Equal treatment of the genders in education should be the goal of every just society
(Unterhalter 2007, p. 5).
Note: Include the page number when citing information from a specific page. This is
particularly important when citing a lengthy document.
When to include a page number
You do not need to use a page number if you are summarising the general themes of a
document in your own words.
Include the page number when quoting the authors exact words. When paraphrasing,
providing a page number is optional. It is recommended you provide a page number when it
would help your reader find the exact source of your paraphrase (e.g. references to a
specific sentence, paragraph, chapter, table or chart).
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the intentional use of someone elses ideas, words or concepts in your
assignment work without appropriate acknowledgment. It is considered serious misconduct
at university and should be avoided at all times. CQUniversity has a policy on plagiarism and
P a g e | 3
you are strongly encouraged to familiarise yourself with it. The following URLs will lead you
to:
CQUniversitys Plagiarism Procedures

Student Misconduct and Plagiarism policy
http://policy.cqu.edu.au/Policy/policy_file.do?policyid=1245
Committing plagiarism can carry very serious penalties for students, including expulsion
from the university.
For help avoiding plagiarism, see the Academic Learning Centres Academic Integrity and
Plagiarism module, available from the home page of the ALCs Moodle site.

P a g e | 4
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is putting someone elses ideas into your own words. When you paraphrase,
you must provide an in-text reference to show that the material comes from another source.
When you reference a paraphrase in text, you must provide the author and year of
publication. You may also provide the page number, if you think it would be helpful to your
reader. In other words, providing a page number for a paraphrase is optional.
Quoting
Short quotations
Single quotation marks are used around direct quotes of fewer than 30 words. When
quoting, you must give the authors exact words.
Short quotations (fewer than 30 words) should:
be incorporated into your sentence without disrupting the flow of your paragraph
have single quotation marks
have the full stop after the reference if the quote is information prominent
(brackets close the sentence)
have the full stop sitting after the close of the quote if the quote finishes the
sentence (see below)
be in the same font size as the rest of the assignment.
Incorporating a quote into your sentence information-prominent
Although students are initially nervous, when students conquer the challenging initial days
of the program, they begin to settle into a routine (Doyle 2006, p. 86).
Incorporating a quote into your sentenceauthor-prominent
Students are initially nervous, but as Doyle (2006, p. 86) suggests, when students conquer
the challenging initial days of the program, they begin to settle into a routine.
Note: When an upper-case letter starts a quote which comes in the middle of a sentence, it
is acceptable to change the upper-case letter to a lower-case letter so that it fits with
the grammar of your sentence (unless the word is a proper noun).

P a g e | 5
Long quotations
Long quotations (30 words or more) should:
be introduced in your own words
not have any quotation marks
begin on a new line
be fully indented by default (i.e., 1.27 cm) from the left margin
be in single line spacing
be in a smaller font. That is, use one font size smaller than the font you are using,
for example, Times New Roman 12 is reduced to Times New Roman 11 for a long
quote, while Arial 11 is reduced to Arial 10.
Separate the quotation from the lead-in statement with one blank line. The lead-in
statement ends with a colon (:). Separate the quotation from the text that follows it with
one blank line.
Note: For a long information-prominent quotation, the full stop goes after the quote and
before the in-text reference, as shown in the example below.
Example of a long quoteinformation-prominent:

Example of a long quoteauthor-prominent:

Note: If you need to omit a word or words from a quotation, indicate this with an ellipsis
(three dots). If you need to add a word or words to a quotation, put them in square
brackets.

Though many may recoil from making their private lives public in digital spaces, there are
obvious benefits for young people:
The public life is fun. Its creative. Its where their friends are. Its theatre, but its also
community: in this linked, logged world, you have a place to think out loud and be
listened to, to meet strangers and go deeper with friends. (Nussbaum 2007, p. 27)
Rowan (2001, p. 39) summarises the effects of a limited world view when she states that:
This poses a real challenge for educators. In many cases, we are drawing on educational
resources, or curriculum documents which are in themselves fairly narrow in the view of
the world they represent. This helps to make this view seem natural and normal.
If educators have a limited world view they will be unaware of the gaps in texts.
P a g e | 6
Quote within a quote
When a quote appears within a quote use double quote marks. For example:
The first words of Melvilles Moby Dick are Call me Ishmael and these words are full of
significance was the first statement in Smiths memorable speech (Johns 1995, p. 43).
Quoting incorrect spelling, punctuation or grammar from an original source
Direct quotations must be accurate. So, if there is any incorrect spelling, punctuation or
grammar in the quote insert the word sic, italicized and square bracketed, straight after the
error in the quotation. For example: the building inspector estimated that there [sic] house
was a fire hazard (Wilson 2013, p. 32).
Page numbers
Always give the page number for a direct quotation, or when referring to a specific diagram,
table or chart. When paraphrasing, providing a page number is optional.
The word page is abbreviated to p. If there are two or more pages, use pp. For example:
(Smith 2012, p. 6), or (Smith 2012, pp. 12-15).
The following examples illustrate the different styles of punctuation used when citing page
numbers that are not consecutive, that are consecutive, or that are from a document that
does not have page numbers (as with many Web sites):
One page referred to (Priest 2006, p. 4)
Pages that are not in sequence (Owens 2009, pp. 1, 4 & 6)
Pages that are in sequence (Warnock 2012, pp. 2526)
Pages from an unnumbered
document
(Pickering & McMahon 2010, para. 3)
Quoting online material that has no page numbers
Normally, direct quotations are cited with author, year and page number in brackets but
many electronic sources do not provide page numbers. In this case, if there are paragraph
numbers, use the paragraph number in place of the page number, with the abbreviation
para. For example:
A BP spokesman reported that The new construction includes a containment cap with a
built-in blow-out preventer, the device that failed to cut off the oil flow (Mann 2010,
para. 4).
P a g e | 7
If neither page nor paragraph numbers are given, it is acceptable to leave them out even for
a direct quote as most electronic material is searchable, so readers are able to find the
quoted material for themselves.
Use of et al.
For references with two or three authors, give all authors names in every in-text reference.
For references with four or more authors, list only the first authors name followed by et
al. (which stands for and others) in your in-text references. For example: (Chaffee et al.
2000).
Note: et al. should not be in italics and there should always be a full-stop after al.
Difference between a reference list and a bibliography
A reference list includes all the sources of information that have been cited in-text in a piece
of work and is located at the end of the piece of work and arranged in alphabetical order.
A bibliography lists all works consulted when preparing a piece of work, whether or not the
works have been cited in the document. This means that all the works referred to within the
document as well as all works consulted but not referred to would appear in the
bibliography in alphabetical order. Unless your assignment instructions specifically request a
bibliography, a reference list is generally all that is required.
Capitalisation
Harvard style uses minimal capitalisation for the titles of books, book chapters, journal
articles, reports and Web sites, but maximal capitalisation for the titles of journals and other
periodicals.
Table 1: Capitalisation
Minimal capitalisation Only the first word in the titles of books, chapters,
journal articles and Web sites is capitalised, regardless
of how it is capitalised in the original title.
Authors names and initials, journal titles and the
names of publishing firms and business or
organisations are always capitalised.
If the title of the article, book or chapter contains a
colon, the first word after the colon should not be
capitalised unless it is a proper name. For example:
Jones, B 1999, The history of rock: John Lennon, Zen
Publishing, London.
P a g e | 8
Maximal capitalisation For the titles of periodicals (journals, magazines and
newspapers), capitalise the first word and also any
other word which is not the, a, an, a preposition
(such as for, on, under, about) or a conjunction
(such as and, but, or). For example: The Journal of
Sociology.
Use of city, state, and country location information
For most print sources, the place of publication should be provided in the reference list
(along with the author, year, title and publisher of the work). This refers to the city in which
the publisher is located. If several cities are given on the source, use the first-listed city.
If the place of publication is little-known, provide the state as well. For example: St Lucia,
Qld.
If the place of publication could be confused with another city of the same name, provide
additional information to clarify the location. This may take the form of either the state or
the country. For example: Cambridge, UK.

P a g e | 9
Formatting your reference list
The reference list begins on a new page. It should be the last page of your assignment
(unless you have appendices, which go after the reference list). The reference list is left-
margin aligned, is done in single line spacing and uses the same font as the text of the
assignment. Leave a blank single-line space after each reference. You can find an example at
the end of this guide.
The title of your reference list should be References and it should be:
bold
left aligned
in the same font style and size as the document.
Note: In Harvard style, headings are neither underlined nor punctuated.
Some further tips for organising your reference list include the following:
1. The reference list is arranged in alphabetical order according to the authors family
name (surname). (Do not use numbers, letters or bullet points to begin each entry.)
2. Any reference that starts with a number (e.g., 3D Networks 2007, Delivering on
performance and investment, viewed 15 July 2010, http://www.3dnetworks.com/)
precedes the alphabetical listing and is listed numerically.
3. Where there is more than one author of a publication, maintain the exact order of
their names as they appear on the title page of the publication.
4. If a source is authored by an organisation rather than an individual, list it
alphabetically according to the organisations name. For example: CSIRO or
Education Queensland.
5. If there is no author or sponsoring body, list the reference alphabetically according
to the title of the article itself. The whole title of the resource must appear, but
when listing alphabetically, ignore words such as The, A, An at the beginning of
the references title. For example, The Australian child should be alphabetised
under A for Australian. Be wary of using resources with no identified author.
6. If there are two or more references by the same author, list them in order of
publication date with the oldest work first.
7. If references by the same author have been published in the same year, list them
alphabetically according to the title of the book/article and add a lower-case letter
to the date, both in the in-text reference and in the reference list. For example:
Education Queensland 2007a, Education Queensland 2007b, Education
Queensland 2007c.
P a g e | 10
Referencing journal articles and periodicals
When referencing a journal article in the reference list, the following elements should be
presented in the following order:
surname (family name) and initials of author(s)
year of publication
title of article in single quotation marks and minimal capitalisation
title of journal or periodical in italics and maximal capitalisation
volume number where applicable
issue number or other identifier where applicable, for example, Winter
page number(s).

Use this format with articles found both in print journals and in electronic journals found
through the CQUniversity Library catalogue or databases, including ACQUIRE.
Journal article from the Web
If you find a journal article through a standard Web search (e.g. using Google or MSN, not
through a CQUniversity Library database or Discover It!), give the full details of the article as
shown above and add the date you viewed the Web page and the Web address of the
article. For example:
Kennedy, I 2004, An assessment strategy to help forestall plagiarism problems, Studies in
Learning, Evaluation, Innovation and Development, vol. 1, no. 1, pp. 18, viewed 7 October
2005, http://www.sleid.cqu.edu.au/viewissue.php?id=5
P a g e | 11
The Cite option in CQUniversity Librarys Discover It! service
If you find an item in Discover It!, you will see a Cite button on the right-hand side of the
screen. This button will display your item in a number of different referencing styles. The
referencing style called Harvard in Discover It! is a USA version of Harvard, and is not the
same as the Australian version of Harvard used by CQUniversity. Be sure to use the
referencing style shown in this Harvard guide.
Referencing a book
For a book, the following elements should be presented in the following order:
surname (family name) and initials of author(s)
year of publication
title of book in italics and minimal capitalisation
the edition, if not the original publication, for example, 4th edn
publisher
place of publication.
There should be commas between all elements except the initials of the author(s) and the
date.
Book
Referencing a Website
For a Website article, the following elements should be presented in the following order:
name of the author/sponsor/owner of the site
year of publication on the Webif no date, use n.d.
title of page/site in italics and minimal capitalisation
date you viewed the site in full
URL (Web address), underlined, no full stop.
P a g e | 12
Website

Using URL references
URLs are underlined and in black font; most word processing packages will automatically
underline the Internet address.
Long URLs
To avoid very long URLs, it is acceptable to give the home page for a Web site rather than
the exact Web address of the page you are referencing as long as the Web site has a search
facility. For example:
Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2007, Australian social trends, 2007, cat. no. 4102.0,
viewed 7 July 2010, http://www.abs.gov.au/
Unpublished sources
Always try to use published materials for your assignments. Unpublished materials usually
comprise theses or papers/abstracts presented at a conference. Be wary of using them. If in
doubt, consult your lecturer to see if the resource can be used.
If you want to use material from one of your previous assessment tasks, you must ask the
lecturer for permission to do so.
Appendix/Appendices
An appendix comprises supplementary material that is collected and appended at the back
of a book or reportsupporting evidence for your assignment. The word Appendices is the
plural form of Appendix. Appendices go after the reference list.
P a g e | 13
Each appendix is a separate item and goes on a separate page. They are usually lettered,
not numberedAppendix A, Appendix B and so on.
Any tables or figures in an appendix take their caption from that appendix, e.g., in
Appendix A, the table would be Table A1; likewise for a figure, Figure A1 and so on.
When to use numbers expressed in words
In a text where numbers are not a significant focus, use words for numbers up to one
hundred. In addition, use words for common fractions, for example, one-fifth of the class.
Use numerals for numbers over nine in documents where numbers occur frequently. A
number, however, is always expressed in words at the beginning of a sentence, for example:
Forty-eight per cent of the sample .
When to use numbers expressed as numerals
Use figures for numbers:
preceding measurement, for example, 3 cm
grouped in figures, for example, 3 of 21
used as statistics, for example, 4% of the population
used in times, dates, ages, money.
Assignment formatting using Harvard style
Numbering the pages in your assignment
In Harvard format, page 1 is the start of the taskthere are no page numbers for the title
page, abstract or table of contents.
Tables and figures
Tables are numbered and the caption is put above the table. The source goes straight
underneath as per Table 1 in the Capitalisation section above.
Figures are numbered and the caption goes underneath the figure. The source goes straight
under the caption. For example:
Figure 1: Average winter temperatures in Rockhampton
Source: Bureau of Meteorology (2012)
Remember that photos, graphs, diagrams and drawings are figures and need to be
referenced accordingly.
