Can I use a referencing website or online tool to create my references?
Answer
In general, we do not recommend that you use these tools. This is because 'Harvard referencing' is not a single, universal system, and the references these tools produce may not match the Newman Harvard style, which will create extra work for you.
If you are a member of staff or a student studying at level 6 (3rd year undergraduate) or above, the Library supports the use of Zotero, an online reference management service.
The Newman referencing guide has a section dedicated to Zotero, which contains a link to set up an account and a link to tutorials to get you started. You can also contact an Academic Service Librarian for support with Zotero.
