Referencing is important in all academic work as it indicates to the reader the sources of your quotations and borrowed ideas. Failure to indicate your sources is tantamount to plagiarism (literary theft). The purpose of the referencing system is to describe your sources in an accurate and consistent manner and to indicate within the text of your paper where particular sources were used. The references list should be arranged alphabetically by the author name. The Harvard format requires book and journals titles etc. the latter has been adopted in this guide.
