How do I use Harvard?
1. In-text citations are made like this
Paraphrasing and in-text citations
Example:
The point made by an analytic philosopher (O'Connor 1957, p. 32) is that values cannot be justified in this way. However Kneller (1963b, p. 102) insists
that the theorist will inevitably be involved in value claims.
Note: when paraphrasing, the page, chapter or section numbers may be included in the in-text citation if the cited work is long and information
helps the reader locate the relevantinformation.
When the authors name is mentioned in-text (e.g. Kneller in the example above) add year and page numbers only to the in-textreference.
Entries that have the same author and year are noted by adding a, b, c etc. to the year, both in-text e.g. Kneller (1963b, p. 102) and in the Reference List
(See entries in Reference List below).
Direct quotes and in-text citations
Examples:
‘Having a solid plan as part of research design is essential’ (Hatch 2002, p. 46).Or Hatch (2002, p. 46) believes ‘having a solid plan as part of research design is essential’. Block quotes and in-text citations
Example:
Inductive analysis is discussed:
Inductive thinking proceeds from the specific to the general. Understandings are generated by starting with specific elements and finding connections among
them. To argue inductively is to begin with particular pieces of evidence, then pull them together into a meaningful whole. Inductive data analysis is a search for
patterns of meaningful data so the general statements about phenomena under investigation can be made (Hatch 2002, p. 161).
Note: Place a quotation of 30 or more words in your work as a freestanding block. These quotes are usually indented e.g. 5 spaces and are in a smaller
font e.g. 1 point size smaller than the surrounding text. Do not enclose the quote in quotationmarks.
