Answer 1

Hi, it was rather confusing but I know the harvard system well! This applies to when you are referencing at the end (your bibliography) and applies to journals. First you write the authors surname, then initials, then the year (2005). then write the title, which is very long in this case! then write, "in" and then the title of the journal you got it from which is Science of The Total Environment. Then you write the vol, issue and pages in the form: 340 (1-3) pp. 283-284. Then write the place where it was published which is amsterdam and then the publisher elsvier, which i found for you and write it like so Amsterdam: Elsevier.

Therefore you write it like this:

Farmer, J. G (2005) Book Review, In: D.A. Christie and E.M. Tansey, Editors, Environmental Toxicology: The Legacy of Silent Spring. Wellcome Witnesses to Twentieth Century Medicine vol. 19, The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL, London (2004) ISBN 0 85484 091 5 xxi+110 pp., £10 plus postage (e-mail: [e-mail]) in Science of The Total Environment 340 (1-3) pp. 283-284, Amsterdam: Elsevier

NOTE!
PUT THE TITLE:
"Book Review, In: D.A. Christie and E.M. Tansey, Editors, Environmental Toxicology: The Legacy of Silent Spring. Wellcome Witnesses to Twentieth Century Medicine vol. 19, The Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL, London (2004) ISBN 0 85484 091 5 xxi+110 pp., £10 plus postage (e-mail: [e-mail])"
IN ITALICS!

AND PUT THE TITLE OF THE JOURNAL:
Science of The Total Environment
IN BOLD.



i hope this is clear enough! it would be easier to show exactly by sending you a word doc via email

also when just quoting in an essay all you need to write after the quotation is (Farmer: 2005; 283) if it is from p383

Answer 2

I have a book from Blackwell book shops called citing references i have just looked up Harvard System for u and heres wot it says - "This is by far the most straightforward way of citing references because all you need to do is mention the author and the date of publication ie The work of Dow (1964) concluded .....
......or.....the results of the survey were inconclusive (see Kramer 1989) "

From this i would guess that all u have to put is : -

D A Christie and E M Tansey (2004) but i wud check with ur university tutor

Gd luck

Answer 3

the harvard system correct citing reference requires the author's name and year of publication within the text in brackets, and the full reference in your biblography i.e science of total environment, date volume page number. good luck

Answer 4

Have a look on this website, which lays out all the different formats, depending on if you're citing an extract from a journal etc.

Answer 5

it's your final year and you still can't reference properly oops. i'll email you a document which states exactly how to do it and is given to students at the university which i attend.
send me your email and then i can forward it to you

Answer 6

I hated referencing! I would ask your tutor, that's what they're there for afterall and they have to earn their wages somehow!

Answer 7
