QUT Harvard

At university, you are expected to cite and reference all information you use in your assignments.

QUT Harvard is one of four official referencing styles accepted for use at QUT. It is based on the Chicago Manual of Style.

If you’re not sure which referencing style to use, ask your lecturer or tutor

Maps Referencing is like providing a map of where you have been. Correct use of referencing will allow you and your lecturer to find the same articles, books and other items that you have used for your assignment.

Referencing ensures that you avoid plagiarism.

What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is using someone else’s work, whether that be words, images or ideas; and not telling people where you found the information.

Essay extract

Australia’s unique and magnificent landforms are a great tourist attraction. Uluru is the largest rock in the world and is a spectacular sight in Australia’s central desert (Georgiou 2007, 21). The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Queensland, is the largest coral reef in the world and home to many tropical fish and animals (Georgiou 2007, 43). Australia has thousands of miles of white sandy beaches and large tracts of lush tropical rainforests. Over half of the continent is a vast, flat desert region. (ADRET 2009). As one tourist put it “this place is HUGE!” (Georgiou 2007, 5). Australia’s landscape is remarkable in the size and variety of spectacular landforms that are visited by travellers to this country.
