BOOK REVIEW GUIDELINES

Plagiarism Harvard Referencing System

This referencing system uses the author and the date of the work in the main body of the text, and then uses a reference list at the end of the assignment which contains the references cited in alphabetical order by author; this contains full details of the journal or book cited.

The purpose of incorporating the author and date into the main body of the text is to make it easy to locate works in the reference list.
