  • Provide a basic introduction to how to reference or use RefWorks (or both)

Email Support

You can email referencing.support@solent.ac.uk for help.   Queries will be dealt with as quickly as possible but please allow up to 72 hours for a response from the Information team.   Please note that this service does not include proof reading or checking of references. 

Referencing - the Basics

This short Referencing video, which is also embedded below, will introduce you to referencing, why it is important and how to approach in-text citations and your reference list following the Harvard Solent Referencing Style.

This Using Others' Work In Your Own Work video, which is also embedded below, builds upon the guidance in the referencing video, looking at how to include information from your research within your assignments, utilising summarising, paraphrasing and quoting.

RefWorks Software

RefWorks is a piece of software that can help you to manage your references.  It has a useful tool, Reference Citation Manager (RCM) that can import your references straight to your text as you type and build your reference list as you go along.
