USING THE HARVARD STYLE.

Citing from works with no obvious author

If you need to cite a piece of work which does not have an obvious author, you should use

what is called a ‘corporate’ author. For example, many online publications will not have

individually named authors, and in many cases the author will be an organisation or company.

A national strategy is creating a framework to drive improvements in dementia services

(Department of Health, 2009).

If you are unable to find either a named or corporate author, you should use ‘Anon’ as the authorname.

Be careful: if you cannot find an author for online work, it is not a good idea to use this work as part of

your research. It is essential that you know where a piece of work has originated, because you need to

be sure of the quality and reliability of any information you use.

Citing from multimedia works

If you need to cite a multimedia work, you would usually use the title of the TV programme

(including online broadcasts) or video recording, or title of the film (whether on DVD or video) as

the author. If a video is posted on YouTube or other video-streaming services then you should

reference the person that uploaded the video (note this might be a username). Therefore, your

citation should use the title that you identify as the author.

Citing from an interview or personal communication

Always use the surname of the interviewee / practitioner as the author.
