Notes on Plagiarism & Harvard Referencing
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is passing off the work of others as your own. This
constitutes academic theft and is a serious matter which is
penalised in assignment marking.
Plagiarism is the submission of an item of assessment
containing elements of work produced by another person(s) in
such a way that it could be assumed to be the student’s own
work. Examples of plagiarism are:
· the verbatim copying of another person’s work without
acknowledgement
· the close paraphrasing of another person’s work by simply
changing a few words or altering the order of presentation
without acknowledgement
· the unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another
person’s work and/or the presentation of another person’s
idea(s) as one’s own.
Copying or close paraphrasing with occasional
acknowledgement of the source may also be deemed to be
plagiarism if the absence of quotation marks implies that the
phraseology is the student’s own.
Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a

6. published source such as a book, report, journal or material
available on the internet.
Harvard Referencing
The structure of a citation under the Harvard referencing system
is the author's surname, year of publication, and page number or
range, in parentheses, as illustrated in the Smith example near
the top of this article.
· The page number or page range is omitted if the entire work is
cited. The author's surname is omitted if it appears in the text.
Thus we may say: "Jones (2001) revolutionized the field of
trauma surgery."
· Two or three authors are cited using "and" or "&": (Deane,
Smith, and Jones, 1991) or (Deane, Smith & Jones, 1991). More
than three authors are cited using et al. (Deane et al. 1992).
· An unknown date is cited as no date (Deane n.d.). A reference
to a reprint is cited with the original publication date in square
brackets (Marx [1867] 1967, p. 90).
· If an author published two books in 2005, the year of the first
(in the alphabetic order of the references) is cited and
referenced as 2005a, the second as 2005b.
· A citation is placed wherever appropriate in or after the
sentence. If it is at the end of a sentence, it is placed before the
period, but a citation for an entire block quote immediately
follows the period at the end of the block since the citation is
not an actual part of the quotation itself.
· Complete citations are provided in alphabetical order in a
section following the text, usually designated as "Works cited"
or "References." The difference between a "works cited" or

7. "references" list and a bibliography is that a bibliography may
include works not directly cited in the text.
· All citations are in the same font as the main text.
Examples
Examples of book references are:
· Smith, J. (2005a). Dutch Citing Practices. The Hague: Holland
Research Foundation.
· Smith, J. (2005b). Harvard Referencing. London: Jolly Good
Publishing.
In giving the city of publication, an internationally well-known
city (such as London, The Hague, or New York) is referenced as
the city alone. If the city is not internationally well known, the
country (or state and country if in the U.S.) are given.
An example of a journal reference:
· Smith, John Maynard. "The origin of altruism," Nature 393,
1998, pp. 639–40.
An example of a newspaper reference:
· Bowcott, Owen. "Street Protest”, The Guardian, October 18,
2005, accessed February 7, 2006.
