USING THE HARVARD STYLE.

Citing works by the same author written in the same year

If you cite a new work which has the same author and was written in the same year as an earlier

citation, you must use a lower case letter after the date to differentiate between the works.

Communication of science in the media has increasingly come under focus, particularly

where reporting of facts and research is inaccurate (Goldacre, 2008a; Goldacre, 2008b).

Citing from chapters written by different authors

Some books may contain chapters written by different authors. When citing work from such

a book, the author who wrote the chapter should be cited, not the editor of the book.

Secondary referencing

Secondary references are when an author refers to another author’s work and the primary

source is not available. When citing such work the author of the primary source and the author

of the work it was cited in should be used.

According to Colluzzi and Pappagallo (2005) as cited by Holding et al (2008) most

patients given opiates do not become addicted to such drugs.

You are advised that secondary referencing should be avoided wherever possible and

you should always try to find the original work. If it is not possible to obtain the original work

please note that you reference the secondary source not the primary resource, only reference

the source that you have used.
