Harvard Referencing.

How & Why
 When creating any research project, Harvard referencing should be used and it includes using two elements - references and citations - in your work, this is known as referencing. All of these references should be put into a bibliography, containing different pieces of information regarding the book/journal/site (as shown below). When it comes to work and using other's pieces of work,you can come across/ be accused of plagiarism. This can be for using someones work without referencing or giving any credit , for example in the music industry when someone uses a riff or lyrics, but does not mention those who gave inspiration, as even by taking someones idea or spoken work can be classed as plagiarism, not just written.

Referencing in website formats: Author Surname, Initial. (year of publication) Web page title. Publisher [online]. Available at URL [Accessed : date].

Referencing in book formats: Author Surname, Initial. (year of publication) Title: subtitle. Edition if not 1st. City/ town of publication : Publisher.

The reason we need to use references and citations is to avoid plagiarism, to show evidence of your work and that you have fully researched into it and lastly to back up and give evidence of the facts and statistics you've used in the article.
