Harvard referencing

Google it - We had to do the HRS at Uni and I hated it, I hate referecing where I got stuff from, what about stuff that you "just know" stuff that you've picked up over time and can't remember how you know it? so annoying. Just accept that I was able to find the information on Google and give my opinion on it, job done.
 
I reference at the end of an essay. If I put a quote from the author i will place a small reference

(A. Thorp et al)

etc
 
It can be done in a number of ways and usually depends on the place of study. If you're College/Uni has an intranet (I assume it does) then there will be information on there.

Just for info though, you realise a Reference list and Bibliography are 2 seperate things? Reference is a list of things written within you're work where as a Bibliography is a list of everything you used throughout the task, even information you didn't include in your work.

We reference to avoid plagiarism.
 
Harvard system goes like this:
Foucault (1987) compares x y and z.......
Or
"Power is deployed rather than possessed" (Foucault, 1987, p123)

And then the reader refers to the bib to see what publication you meant
 
We reference to avoid plagiarism.

I get that, but I never said that I was claiming it was my own work, just that I was able to look it up on Google, referencing is just annoying. It's not like I'm selling my dissertation or anything, I was simply researching the answer to my research question
 
I use footnotes and a bibliography.

Examples of footnote references, Harvard style:

2 'Longenecker uses the categories “pastoral letter” and “tractate” to distinguish them (1983:102–6). The latter sometimes maintain the epistolary form (Hebrews lacks the opening, James, 2 Peter and Jude lack the concluding greetings, and 1 John lacks both opening and closing formulas), but their content goes beyond local situations to speak to general concerns of the church as a whole.' Osborne, G. R. 2006. The hermeneutical spiral: A comprehensive introduction to biblical interpretation (Rev. and expanded, 2nd ed.) (316). InterVarsity Press: Downers Grove, Ill.

...

13 'The reader also must understand that the sacred writers were not producing a systematic presentation of their theology but rather were using theology to speak to specific situations. Therefore, we dare not read individual statements as finished dogma, but rather we must move from the individual statements to ascertain the biblical theology and then to develop a dogmatic or systematic theology (see chaps. 15–16).' Osborne, G. R. 2006. The hermeneutical spiral: A comprehensive introduction to biblical interpretation (Rev. and expanded, 2nd ed.) (317). InterVarsity Press: Downers Grove, Ill.

Bibliography, Harvard style:

Ok so is this right ?

Peredina is the last name of the aurthor who wrote the book, and the 2011 refers to when it was published

Health care is a necessity all over the world and plays a vital role in the general wellbeing of mankind. There is a large variety of health care systems, with as many histories and organizational arrangements as there are populations. In some countries, health care planning is dispersed among market members. In other countries there is concentrated effort among governments, charities, trade unions, religious or other co-ordinated groups to provide planned health care services, aimed at the population they serve. (Perednia,2011)


Webiste one here

The aims for health care systems, according to the World Health Organization, are to provide good reactions to the expectations of the population they are serving, as well as a fair financial contribution.
This assignment will analyse and compare the ideological and political thinking behind three health care systems from France, America and Japan. (www.who.int)


And last one info I got a from a DVD and website ?

Private healthcare companies work with a business like mentality, with bonuses earned for its employees for finding faults in claims, resulting in none payouts The NHS rewards its employees like doctors for the level of care given to its patients, which provides a much more ethical way of providing healthcare, based on performance and level of care given to the individual. Amercia can boast of a lot less waiting times compared to the NHS system, but this is largely due to people not being able to afford or having the necessary insurance for care.(www.prospect.org) (sickodvd,Mores,2007)

The bibliography is easy as there are tools to do that, but its listing the info on the paragraphs I want to know if I am doing right ? its the Harvard system I have to do by the way

:)
 
For Harvard style in-text referencing of a book with a single author you have a couple of options:

Option 1 said:
'The theory was first propounded in 1993' (Comfort 1997, p. 59)...

Option 2 said:
Comfort (1997, p. 59) claimed that...

For in-text referencing of an online article with a single author, Harvard style:

'Neville Gorman specialised in walk-on roles' (Burke 2011).

Bibliography, Harvard style:

RIP Neville Gorman 2011. Retrieved October 29, 2011, from http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18259094
