...Guide to In-text Citation and Referencing IN-TEXT CITATION 1) If you are paraphrasing from any source in which the author’s name is given, you must mention the author’s surname, date of publication and the page number. For example: Chase (1979:204) reported that… According to Henderson and King (1987:176),… 2) If you are summarising the overall idea of a book or article, you just have mention the author’s surname and date of publication. The page number is not necessary. For Example: The study concluded that there was no clear link between obesity and genetics (Smith, 2006). 3) If you are citing from a source written by more than two authors, rather than writing the name of every author, use the name of the first author followed by et al, which means and others. For example: Jones et al (2001) explained that… Comment [KHEI1]: Please note that et al should be in italics 4) If you are using an authoritative source but there is no author, you should cite the name of the organisation in the text. For example: A report published by the BBC (2004) indicated that… There has been a slight increase in the number of homeless children in developed countries in the last 10 years (UNESCO, 2008). 5) If you are giving exact quotations, you should identify the page numbers on which the quotations can be found. For example: Black (2007:143) claims that, ‘……………………………..’ 6) If the quotation is 3 lines of longer, you should indent the whole quotation. For example:...

...Mohammed Rafi 1 Mohammed Rafi Mohammad Rafi Background information Born Origin 24 December 1924 Kotla Sultan Singh, Punjab, British India Indian Died 31 July 1980 (aged 55) Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Genres Indian classical, ghazal, playback singing Occupations Hindi and Punjabi playback singer Instruments Vocalist Years active 1944–1980 Mohammad Rafi (Urdu: ,عیفر دمحمHindi: मोहम्मद रफ़ी; 24 December 1924 – 31 July 1980), was an Indian playback singer whose career spanned four decades.[1] He won a National Award and 6 Filmfare Awards. In 1967, he was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India.[2] In a career spanning about 40 years, Rafi sang over 26,000 film songs.[3] His songs ranged from classical numbers to patriotic songs, sad lamentations to highly romantic numbers, qawwalis to ghazals and bhajans, and from slow melancholic tunes to fast and melodious fun filled songs.

...HBS CASE Guide to Harvard Referencing University of Hertfordshire Hertfordshire Business School Centre for Academic Skills Enhancement (CASE) Harvard Referencing Guide This updated guide has been produced by CASE Academic Advisers to promote accurate Harvard referencing in the Business School. Harvard referencing style has many varieties. This version has been developed to ensure conformity with the basic Harvard referencing conventions and in relation to feedback from HBS lecturers and students. Accurate referencing is ESSENTIAL because: 1) Your work must be ‘evidenced' with references to appropriate academic theory and practitioner experience. 2) Your reader must be able to see which ideas and words are your own and which are not. 3) Your lecturer must be able to check your sources and see which ones you have used to support your assertions. 4) Your lecturer needs to see if you have read and understood course material and how you have used the work of others to develop your own ideas. 5) Other readers might want to find and read some of the sources you have used. 6) If you do not reference, you might be accused of stealing the work/ideas of others - this is plagiarism. Revised: 03/10/14 1 © HBS CASE, 2014. HBS CASE Guide to Harvard Referencing You should note that Harvard is a modern ‘author-date’ referencing system and should not be used in the same document with the older numerical /footnote systems that use numbers in the text and...
