Harvard Solent Referencing Guide

Author publishing multiple works in the same year

If an author has written more than one work in a year, add a,b,c, etc. after the date to distinguish between them.

In-text reference examples

Smith (2007a, p.22) suggested… Further, Smith (2007b, p.3) explained…

 

Reference list examples

SMITH, A., 2007a. How to cite references. Southampton: Solent Publishing

SMITH, A., 2007b. Avoiding plagiarism. Southampton: Solent Publishing

This system applies no matter what format the source material is in; so if an author published a book, a podcast and a journal article all in 2010, they would still be given as 2010a, 2010b and 2010c.

If an author has written more than one solo work in different years, list them in date order (oldest to newest).
