From September 2025 the University will be using the “Cite Them Right Harvard” as their referencing style.
Full guidance is available on the site. It has examples of how to format your references and activities to help you practice.
You should always check with your tutor which style they want you to use.
If you use reference management software, you can generate and export your references using the Cite Them Right Harvard format.
If you started your course before September 2025, you can still use the UON Harvard guide available here.
Please check with your tutor if they have any specific requirements when referencing in your assignments.
These videos (on the two tabs above) are included to highlight common mistakes we often see with referencing and also a useful explanation of what we mean when we talk about plagiarism:
Transcripts are available as a separate file underneath each video.
