Harvard UWS Referencing Style Guide

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.

Intellectual honesty and plagiarism
Students are referred to the University of Western Sydney Calendar "Misconduct - Student
Academic Misconduct Policy" section for basic definitions and University policies relating to intellectual honesty, cheating and plagiarism.

About the Harvard UWS style
The Harvard UWS 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 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2002), an Australian government publication which is available at all UWS libraries. Please consult this publication for further examples and explanation:
Commonwealth of Australia 2002, Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, rev.
Snooks & Co., John Wiley & Sons Australia, Brisbane.
