Your reference list should include the full reference details for every source of information you have quoted, paraphrased or summarised (or referred to in any other way) within the body of your assignment.
This reference list goes at the end of your work.

A reference list only includes the sources you have used directly.
If you have read other sources but not referred to them, you could include them but this will be a bibliography rather than a reference list.
Please check with your lecturer as to whether they would prefer a reference list or bibliography. Please see the 'Bibliographies' section for guidance as needed.
The Referencing video, which is also embedded below, offers a general introduction to referencing, including how to build your reference list and construct correct citations in Harvard Solent style. There is also a quiz embedded for you to test your knowledge and a demonstration of checking your reference list to make sure that your citations are accurate:
