CONSISTENCY IS KEY

The reference list in your assignment has to be consistent in style and format 

Please be aware that because ‘Harvard referencing’ is an umbrella term for any referencing style that uses the author's name and year of publication within the text to indicate where you have inserted a source, you might find several ways to reference sources. In this guide, we will use the system used in the Cite Them Right - Harvard Referencing Style available online.  

Please follow these instructions from Cite Them Right - Harvard - depending on the type of resources you use:
