• Referencing software (e.g. EndNote)
• Referencing software at UWE
• Useful resources
• Summary
The Harvard Reference System
• The Harvard Reference System (HRS) is
one of many (thousands) of referencing
systems.
• Clear referencing is an important skill to
learn and develop.
• An good, accurate reference section is a
strong indicator of good work
• Assessors often look at it first!
Two parts to the HRS:
• There are two parts to the Harvard Reference
System:
• a) the citation in your text and
• b) full details of your source materials at the end.

• Example of citation
• According to Handy (2002:187) a person can
now expect to go through three stages of active
life each lasting about 25 years.
More Examples:
• Example of citation 2
– A person can now expect to go through at least
three stages of active life, each stage lasting about
25 years (Handy, 2002: 187).
• Example of a short quotation 3
– Some contextual variables “clearly can be influenced
by educators and administrators “(Duff, 2004. p.66)
• In a long quotation, the quoted sentences
should start on a new line, be indented and use
a smaller font.
General guidelines for using direct
quotations:
1. Avoid more than one long
quotation/1000 words
2. Avoid quoting information that is well-
known in your subject area
3. Avoid quotations that disagree with
your argument - unless you can prove
they are wrong
General guidelines for using direct
quotations:
4. Avoid using quotes because you
cannot understand the meaning of
the original source
5. Avoid using quotations to make your
points for you; use them to support
your points

• Reference for a book
• Webster, R., (2009), Personalizing Learning:

Referencing is tedious
It is very time consuming!
Difficult to get the format and all
the punctuation right all the time!
Tedious when you have to change
from one style to another
Fortunately we can use referencing
software to do it all for us.
The answer is – REFERENCING SOFTWARE!

e. g. EndNote
• Important point: Endnote – small ‘n’ - in Word is
not the same as EndNote – capital ‘N’.
• Endnote (MS Word)is a limited referencing feature of Word
• EndNote is a very powerful reference management system
built around a database of your references
(EndNote) referencing software
• If you start using ANY referencing software
now it will:
a) Make your work look much better
b) Improve the quality of your referencing
c) Save you days and days of tedious typing
d) Help you to develop a really valuable
resource (a library of reusable references)
What is EndNote?
• “EndNote is a bibliographic database program
designed to help you store, organise and
retrieve your references.
• It helps you to format your references
according to your chosen referencing style.
• You can also use EndNote with Word
to insert references as you write your
document.”
Source: University of Brighton: Managing your references using EndNote X6
MS Word & “Cite while you write”
• When EndNote is installed, it automatically
links with Word via the Tools menu on the top
bar.
• It allows you to insert references (insert
selected citations) as you write
• It then formats the references at the end of
your document (format bibliography).

Referencing software at UWE
EndNote automatically links with Word
“Cite while you write” ensures that:
• All the authors you cited in your text will
appear in your reference list
• No embarrassing omissions
• They will all be formatted uniformly.
• You need to start by ensuring that the
citations (i.e. reference to authors as they
appear IN text) is how you want them to
look.
• EndNote allows you to preview them.
If you want to use EndNote
• Follow the instructions and install EndNote
• Once you've successfully installed the
software, check to see that Word has been
updated
• Learn how to use EndNote via the training
videos and handouts – work at your own
pace and start to set up a library of project
references
– Especially if you intend to do an MA/MSc!
