Holmes has been implementing as a pilot program using a revised/adapted Harvard approach to
referencing. The following guidelines apply:

• Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources which provide full text access to the source’s
content for lecturers and markers.
• The Reference list should be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled: References.
• It should include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged alphabetically A-Z by author
surname. In addition, it MUST include a hyperlink to the full text of the cited reference source.
For example;
P Hawking, B McCarthy, A Stein (2004), Second Wave ERP Education, Journal of Information
Systems Education, Fall, http://jise.org/Volume15/n3/JISEv15n3p327.pdf

• All assignments will require additional in-text reference details, which will consist of the surname of the
author/authors or name of the authoring body, year of publication, page number of content,
paragraph where the content can be found.
For example;
“The company decided to implement a enterprise wide data warehouse business intelligence strategies
(Hawking et al, 2004, p3(4)).”

1. Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the referencing guidelines will
receivea 10% penalty.
