Name and date system (Harvard system)The originator’s name and the year of publication ofthe document cited are given after each reference inthe text.If the originator’s name occurs naturally inthe text, the year follows in parentheses, but if not,both name and year are in parentheses. If details ofparticular parts of a document are required,e.g. page numbers for printed material, track or titlenumber of sound recording, they should be givenafter the year within the parentheses.
For cited documents containing a number of contributions, a role with which a single originatoris associated should be preferred to any role withwhich several originators are associated. If this isnot possible, and there are two originators, the
surnames of both should be given before the date.Ifthere are more than two originators, the surname ofthe first originator only should be given, followed by“et al”.
If two or more documents have the same originatorand year, they are distinguished by lower-caseletters (a, b, c, etc.), following the year and withinthe parentheses.For cited documents with no originator,“Anon”should be used.
