Harvard referencing
At the end of your work, under the heading References, list in full all of the sources that you have cited. Write the list in alphabetical order by the author's last name. Italicise titles of books, reports and conference proceedings. For journal articles, the title of the journal (not the title of the journal article) should be printed in italics. Capitalise the first letter of the publication title, the first letters of all main words in the title of a journal and all first letters of a place name and publisher.
Above all, references should be accurate, consistent and include all the required information to enable a reader to locate the source.
Foreign language
If you are writing a piece of research in the English language but are referring to sources which are written in other languages: Either give the source title exactly as it appears in the original language, or give an English translation of it in square brackets with a language descriptor at the end, e.g. Thurfjell, W. 1975. Vart hav varan doktor tagit vagen? Lakartidningen 72, p. 789. or Thurfjell, W. 1975. [Where has our doctor gone?]. Lakartidningen 72, p. 789. (In Swedish).

Vancouver style
To cite a source using the Vancouver style, insert a number into your text in round brackets. Write the number after punctuation marks such as full stops and commas or before colons and semi-colons. Li and Crane point out that the main objective of citing references is to give sufficient information to allow sources to be located. (1) If you need to cite more than once source at the same time, write a number for each source e.g. (1, 2) or (6, 12, 15) When citing more than two sources, which are numbered consecutively, use a hyphen instead of a comma. General overviews of the process of citing references are given by Bosworth and Craig and in Walliman. (2-4) If you need to cite the same source more than once at different points in your text, you can use the same number: References should be given for "all direct or indirect quotations, and in acknowledgement of someone's opinions, or of a source of factual information which is not general knowledge". (1) Li and Crane point out that the main objective of citing references is to give sufficient information to allow sources to be located. (2) General overviews of the process of citing references are given by Bosworth and Craig and in Walliman. (3, 4, 1)
