Citing and referencing using the Harvard Style

[@kelvinchuen8353]

In text citation is using surname while references are using given name and a short form of the surname. not putting full surnames in the reference but the M.

I’ve done everything I can with my references and apparently their still wrong, 😓 not sure what else I can do as my efforts are being wasted on these references

It's a real shame you don't show how to manage quotes in this. For some reason, most material showing people how the Harvard style works avoids clarifying that part of the referencing style. Why do you think that is? Is actually quoting a text within your sentence frowned upon?

Hello. Please refer to our online guide: libguides.ucd.ie/harvardstyle/quotationharvard for more about quotes.

[@AzriRi-ll8jx]

Yeah, you're not encouraged to copy word for word. It's better to paraphrase.

[@nishanpaudel3511]

It was very useful but should we include page number also?

[@UCDLibrary]

Generally it is advised to use page numbers where a quotation of another person's words has been included. Some disciplines and academics prefer a page number to be included anywhere an idea from another person has been included. Always check with local guidance.

@@UCDLibrary How can you find the number of the page when isnt numbered? In other cases I have observed that there is a reference in which line is the text found. How can we find in which line is the text when isnt cited?

@@mariagouli3488 Hi Maria, if you need to insert a direct quote or have been instructed to include page numbers where none appear in the text you have a few options. For books, ebooks, journal articles etc. that do not include a page number we would recommend citing the chapter and/or paragraph number. For poems, you can use the line number instead of page number. You get the line number either in the text where the poem appears or by counting the number of lines in the poem. Citing the Cottrell book for example with a chapter and paragraph number would look like this (Cottrell, 2013, ch. 2. para. 3).

UCDLibrary in papers you can get an automated citation. How can you add from scientific papers where is the paragraph or line that you use as a reference? Thank you for your time

[@UCDLibrary]

@@mariagouli3488 You could try to insert the citation/reference in your paper and then edit the in-text citation/reference to add the line or paragraph number. Just to note, often these automatic citation services are not reliable. We recommend always using a style guide to check formats. If you have more questions, you should contact either your university library or academic advisors for the materials you are producing.
