28、ment of the examiner.Harvard Reference System: Brief Introduction.In the Harvard Reference system, there are two parts:?" attributions ” , which are contained in the main body of your text,?" references” , which are notes in the Reference Section (after the main body of thetext).Both are n

29、eeded.The a attribution is used when you are writing your report as a quick way to show the reader that the ideas they are reading about can be explored in more detail somewhere else. The idea is that the attribution is small and should not interfere with their reading: it is an aid to the reader. I

30、f the reader does wish to explore some idea further (or understand the background of some idea you have mentioned), then they can go to the“ referencesection of your work and can easily find the actuala reference chinby forar in theReference Section. Each of the references in this section gives deta

31、iled information about the source which the reader should go to. The information given will allow the user to identify exactly which book/magazine/journal/etc. they should read.However, in addition to simply being a convenience for the reader, all reference systems are intended to support the idea o

32、fa intellectual honesty " and " intellectuMosebatepeople ' s ideas are built on top of other people' s id easyipodant to see the chainof thinking in order to do any proper analysis of them.You can be sure that some newidea that is persuasive and" hot" today is discovered

33、to be dead wrong tomorrow; and inthis case it ' s almost always better to note where the idea came from, and not claim it as your own.Reference SectionYou can easily find a reference in the Harvard Systems because it requires you to organize your Reference Section as follows:? Alphabetically, by

34、 authour' s family name.If you have several references from people with the same name, then for this group of references you sort them as follows:? Numerically, by date of publication.If you also need to refer to publications by the same author in the same year, then you should distinguish these

35、 different publications with a letter suffix on the year. For example,Smith, J. (1999a) 34-56Smith, J. (1999b)Smith, J. (1999c) 12-14How to succeed! ”“ After Success? ”Key Skills Today ”Journal of EntrepreneursJournal of EntrepreneursJournal of Entrepreneurs, 1(2), p.2(2), p. 42-49, 3(8), p.The attr

36、ibution in the body of your work would then refer to these asSmith 1999aetc.Individual ReferenceEach type of resource (e.g., book, journal article, website, magazine article, etc.) which you refer your reader to look at requires you to write down a different set of information so that your reader ca

37、n be guaranteed to be able to find that resource.The general format of a journal articlereference is shown below:Smith, J. (1999)“ Howto succeed! ” Journal of Entrepreneurs, 1(2), p. 34-56Author s surname and initials are listed first, followed by year of publication in brackets.Then there is the ti

38、tle of article and journal where article appears, which is underlined or in italics. Finally, state the volume and issue Number (in brackets) along with the pages where article can be located.The general format of a book reference is shown below:Bohlander, G. (2003), and Snell, S.,“ Managing Human R

After this comes the second author (if there is one).Then there is the title ofthe book in italics. Finally, state the publisher o
