Description
This concise and accessible guide takes referencing apart and rebuilds it in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand and student-centred way. Students will learn what referencing is, how to locate appropriate sources, and how to format citations and references in the Harvard style. A Student-Friendly Guide to Referencing features examples from a wide range of common source types, including books, journals, newspapers, podcasts and online sources. 'Test yourself' exercises allow students to put new skills into practice, with answers provided at the end of each chapter.
This text is essential for all students that need to get to grips with referencing, and will be particularly useful for preliminary-year or pre-sessional students.
