Harvard Citation Style: Introduction
Referencing or citing your sources is an important part of academic writing. It lets you acknowledge the ideas or words of others if you use them in your work and helps avoid plagiarism.
Referencing also demonstrates that you’ve read relevant backgound literature and you can provide authority for statements you make in your assignments.
The Harvard citation style can vary in minor features such as punctuation, capitalisation, abbreviations, and the use of italics.
There are two components to referencing: in-text citations in your paper and the reference list at the end of your paper.
The in-text citation:
Harvard is an ‘author/date’ system, so your in-text citation consists of author(s) and year of publication.
In-text citation of a book (the same format applies for a journal article)
If you quote directly from an author or to cite a specific idea or piece of information from the source you need to include the page number of the quote in your in-text citation.
The reference list:
All in-text citations should be listed in the reference list at the end of your document. The reference list should include details representing all the works you cite in your document and it should be in alphabetical order by author.
Reference list entry for a book
Reference list entry for a journal
Reference list entries contain all the information that someone needs to follow up your source. Reference lists in Harvard are arranged alphabetically by author.
The overarching principle in referencing or citing is that readers should be able to follow your sources if they are interested in finding out more about a topic and that you should acknowledge other authors whose ideas or information you have used.
Two or more works cited at one point in the text
If two or more works by different authors or authoring bodies are cited at one point in the text, use a semi-colon to separate them:
(Larsen 2000; Malinowski 1999)
The authors should be listed in alphabetical order.
Two or three authors or authoring bodies
When citing a work by two or three authors or authoring bodies, cite the names in the order in which they appear on the title page:
(Malinowski, Miller & Gupta 1995)
What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is an online research management, writing and collaboration tool. It is designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies.
Why should you use RefWorks?
- One “click” and you can generate bibliographies in any citation style format. (APA, AMA, MLA and more!)
- Allows you to create & organize your own personal database of references.
- Import your references directly from databases, journals or the library catalog and avoid emailing or the need to save to a USB flashdrive.
- Makes collaboration easier during group projects allowing you to share your RefWorks folder of references.
New Users: Getting Started!
- Go to Himmelfarb Library’s Homepage
- Under Accounts Click RefWorks
- Select “Sign up for an Individual Account” and complete the new user information form.
- You will receive an email from RefWorks confirming your login username and password

Write-N-Cite is a RefWorks tool that allows you to cite and imbed footnotes from your references in a Microsoft Word document. It automatically formats both the in-text citations and creates your bibliography from your references.
Note: You will need the Group Code for GWUMC to use Write-N-Cite off-campus.

What is a DOI? A DOI (digital object identifier) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the internet. Used for both print and electronic sources.
If a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is not visible in either the article or the database, search Cross/Ref DOI Lookup using the article author and title.

Writing a bibliography doesn’t have to be a confusing process!
For a good reference on APA Style go to the APA Citation Style Guide.

Origin, Purpose and Commitment of the Conferences
The Gordon Research Conferences were initiated by Dr. Neil E. Gordon, of the Johns Hopkins University, who recognized in the late 1920s the difficulty in establishing good, direct communication between scientists, whether working in the same subject area or in interdisciplinary research. The Gordon Research Conferences promote discussions and the free exchange of ideas at the research frontiers of the biological, chemical and physical sciences. Scientists with common professional interests come together for a full week of intense discussion and examination of the most advanced aspects of their field. These Conferences provide a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication – publications and presentations at large scientific meetings.
Admission Qualifications
Each Conference operates relatively autonomously with each Conference Chair being completely responsible for the content and conduct of the meeting as well as the selection of discussion leaders, speakers and attendees. The primary criteria for attendance at a Conference are scientific accomplishment and, implicitly, the commitment to participate actively and meaningfully in the discussions. Gordon Research Conferences will not discriminate against any individual based on that person’s race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by law.
Conference Format
Normally, lectures are held in the morning and evening. Almost all Gordon Research Conferences begin on a Sunday evening and run through Thursday evening. Afternoons are available for informal participation in discussion, reading or recreation, as individuals desire.
The Board of Trustees of the Gordon Research Conferences established the Alexander M. Cruickshank Lectures to honor the many years of service to the organization by the former director, Dr. A.M. Cruickshank. Typically, there will be one such lectureship annually for each of the principal subdisciplines of the Conferences, namely the Biological, Chemical, and Physical sciences.

The FASEB Journal
The FASEB Journal ranks among the top biology journals in the world.* This monthly journal publishes peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary original research articles, as well as editorials, reviews, and news of the life sciences. As disciplines in the life sciences continue to overlap, readers are drawn to The FASEB Journal for its interdisciplinary coverage. Specifically, The FASEB Journal is a preferred venue for the latest research reports and reviews of epigenetics, iRNA mechanics, histone acetylation, nitric oxide signaling, eicosanoid biochemistry, angiogenesis, tumor suppressor genes, apoptosis, cytoskeletal function, and human stem cell research.
Influence
The FASEB Journal was recognized as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Journals of the past century in Biology and Medicine by the Special Library Association’s Biomedical and Life Sciences Division. Further, it has been covered by major news outlets including The Chicago Tribune, ABC News, Scientific American, and The New York Times.
