Trying to reference the 'Code of Conduct 2006' in the BPS format...ironically enough but i can't seem to gather enough information about the text so i'm a bit confused? No author? And the town? Would it be done as a journal? A book?

I guess it is Harvard style...always been told to use BPS so, BPS for a BPS document...hmm.

BPS similiar to Harvard?

BPS is effectively the author of the document, not the style.

There are loads of styles of referencing, Harvard is probably the most common one, so I'd go with that for now and ask your tutor when you next see them.

Main differences between BPS and Harvard? Looks right though...

BPS doesn't have a 'style' as such. Harvard is a style of referencing. BPS is like a Journal title or something.

Um...i'm certain there is a BPS and also an APA style of referencing...we have been informed we are to use the BPS. I'm asking how it is different to Harvard.
