Aims
• Outline why academics acknowledge sources

• Review academic referencing conventions
• Identify the key characteristics of the Harvard Referencing
System
Acknowledging Sources
It is an academic convention that we should acknowledge our sources:
• When we borrow from or refer to the work of others, we must

state that the work is not our own, and show where it is from.
• Why has this become an academic convention, do you think?
From the following statements, which do you think are valid reasons why we acknowledge sources, and which are not?

Acknowledging Sources
We have established why it is important to acknowledge sources.
Now we must establish when, or in which cases we need to acknowledge

sources…
In which of the following situations would you need to acknowledge the source of information?
a) Using an image b) Using a sentence c) Using specific d) Using data which

Harvard Referencing
Having established why and when we acknowledge sources, we can finally

consider how we do it.
Again we must adhere to academic conventions, and a particular system of

referencing.
On your programme you will be using the ‘Harvard System’ of referencing.

Harvard Referencing
In the following paragraph, identify:

a)A reference list entry b) An in-text citation c) A quotation d) A
paraphrase
Smith (2009) argues that the popularity of the Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) is
irrational, as despite their high cost most are never driven off-road. In his
