Research Process - Discussions with Bill (Jizhou) (27 Dec 2011)
19th Dec - from Bill
I've just read an article on Internet about learning Chinese, hope it can be helpful to you.
Here is the link: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/culture/2011-06/16/c_13933993.htm
NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE
From this article, I think the most serious problem foreign learners face are:
1. The tones and characters are too difficult to learn, it's hard not to give up
- AC.Just concentrating on tones, they require sustained practice.
2. They can not find enough native speakers to talk with.
- AC.Meetup events, exposure on internet to spoken mandarin.
And for teachers:
1. not enough materials
- AC.cost of materials, paid for by students.
2. not enough budget to hire Chinese teachers
- AC.Set organisations - private or state-funded.

Problems with Learning:
- Tones

Anne Martin believes that part of the problem is the exam system - which isn't designed for native speakers and is hard for them to gain good grades. So hard for non-native learners to pass. Causes for schools to be reluctant to timetable Chinese is non-native learners cannot get good grades.
"People who want to be ahead in whatever industry need to think about China and learning Chinese."

How many British people learn Chinese?
- More and more studying Chinese, statistics held by CILT National Center for Languages
High school - doubled from 2000 (4028 learning) to 2004 (7580 learning)
Not many compared to European languages.

from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8776515/The-rise-and-rise-of-Mandarin-but-how-many-will-end-up-speaking-it.html
"Indeed, only 1,500 students took Chinese or Mandarin at undergraduate or postgraduate level last year, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency, making it the least popular major language apart from Japanese." see http://www.hesa.ac.uk/
Chinese is one of the most sought after languages by British businesses.
However it is hard for Chinese to become a world language.
Difficulty of rote-learning thousands of words.
One third of mandarin students are from Japan and South Korea, then US, then Europe, then developing countries.
"foreign countries lack resources to teach Chinese, both in books and teachers"
"The environment is important"
"Chinese students studying overseas to take on more teaching jobs at schools""many foreign students eventually arrive at the shameful conclusion that the Chinese are mastering English far more quickly than vice versa"
Bill - The reason for learning Chinese for UK learners is what I'm interested in.
And how many of them give up because it's too difficult? - Stats?
"interest in Chinese culture is a strong and sustainable desire to learn"
"For a better job is a strong desire, but if not so interested in Chinese culture"
If Mandarin means better jobs in the future then this will be the motivation.
In China, friends like to learn Japanese and Korean because they like animations and comics of Japan and Korea at first. "culture-based learning"
The key to any course is the objective for learning - is it for Work, Holiday, Study or Cultural interest?
More detail on business work potential in China - student motivations?
For English , it's hard to say someone learn that because thay like English culture or American culture. It is a have to do thing.
"culture-based study should be encouraged."
The 3 problems:
1. too difficult to learn - made easier, or more graded?
2. not enough materials - funding of materials, online materials?
3. not enough native speakers to talk with - more connections with native speakers.

Research Process - Visit to Central St Martins Library, KX (20 Dec 2011)
This afternoon I visited Central St Martins College Library at King's Cross.
Apparently I could not just turn up, and actually needed to book two days in advance for a visit through this email address: library.visits@csm.arts.ac.uk.

Research Interview
with I Ju – a Mandarin teacher from Taiwan -
Raynes Park, London, Sunday 18 December 2011
Questions prepared by Andrew Craddock, MA Interactive Digital Media student,
Ravensbourne College, London, 10 December 2011
Introduction:
This research is about developing Interactive Learning Tools for Mandarin and finding more creative and memorable ways to learn characters, words, and sentences.
You do not have to answer all questions, however if you can answer as many as possible this would be appreciated.
TEACHING METHODS
Q1: Do you teach people to write, or speak, or both?
[ ] Write Simplified Chinese and/or Traditional system
[ ] Speak Taiwanese, or Mandarin Chinese, or both
[Y] Both writing and teaching for all above –
IJ. Depends on their needs. All of above.
Q2: Who are your students? Are they from:
[Y] UK
[Y] Hong Kong
[N] Taiwan
[N] Mainland China
[Y] Malaysia
[Y] Other
IJ. Korea, Singapore, Brazil, Australia, South Africa.
50% are in work, 50% in high school.
Q3: What age group(s) do your teach?
[A] High school 12-18 yrs, Parents and children aged 4-6, Work employees 25-40, Students in Adult education aged 40-60.
With Adult education most have a partner from China/Taiwan, the aim is for their partners to improve because they are in the host country therefore they use English.
Q4: What books/software do you teach with?
[A] Many different books – depends on the group.
Adults – ‘Chinese express’ – a UK publisher
High School/GCSE students - ‘Kuaile Hanyu’ – from Beijing university
Kids – ‘Chinese made easy’
Q5: Do you have a teaching qualification/or have native language skill?
[A] HSK teaching certificate, Taiwan Dip TSCOL, Dip DTLLS, IELTS, MA, taking PHD.
Have native language skill, but regional teaching skill not needed in teaching role.
LEARNING METHODS
Q6: Do you know how many words or characters your students learn every week?
[A] 2 hours of teaching for a student each week. Depends on level and needs.
Adults usually learn about 20 characters a week, sometimes for more intensive sessions 30-40 characters a week.
For the HSK test, students are learning about 100 characters a week. For business mandarin around the same or higher if they have been learning for 1 to 2 years.
Q7: When students are learning to speak Chinese what do they find hardest to understand?
[A] For speaking, pronounciation of the tones is especially difficult for English speakers.
The 1st tone should be high and long. Ie. Yi should be pronounced high and long, not at the same pitch as normal English or it will not be understood.
Sometimes students confuse the 2nd and 3rd tone, making the 3rd sound like the 2nd. Kids pronounciation can be better, and they are less likely to be confused between tones or pitch!
Q8: When students are learning to write Chinese what do they find hardest to remember?
[A] Stroke order, up-down, left-right, inside-outside, good form and balance is important. Keep beauty and order. Remember that ‘the character is the culture’ – if it is not correct it is like painting not writing. Starting from the correct place to proceed on the journey through the character form.
Q9: Do your students know how to use the Input method editor (IME) on a Windows or Mac PC?
[A] Work students know the IME, but not high school students –who are more interested in familiarity and writing games on paper.
Q10: I understand that Bopomofo system is taught in schools in Taiwan. Do you think there are advantages to children learning Bopomofo first, then learning the characters later?
[A] Bopomofo is the general term. Zhuyin is the more specific term. Age 6-7 have both writing and speaking ability. They can express speaking more quickly as they can read more quickly (though zhuyin writings). In Taiwan they learn the English alphabet from 10, then use Zhuyin. AC. I asked if Zhuyin might be useful for non-Taiwanese and she did not think it had any usefulness for countries outside of Taiwan.
Q11: Can you list out some of the ways that students can memorise characters?
[A] Stories, articles, sounds like, painting, root thinking.
Q12: Do students have ways to remember word combinations and sentences? Or is it best for them to try to remember the components and then put them together?
[A] I placed emphasis on word combinations. By looking at the 1st character as the key, the family of words can be recited. Word family is known as ‘zi gen’ which means word root.
Q13: Essentially I think that language is about establishing relations between sounds, ideas, meaning, writing and symbols and then communicating these so that the listener or reader can understand the communicator. How do your students know that a certain character matches a certain sound that matches a certain word? Do you have different ways to teach these associations?
[A] Pinyin, then pinyin with hanzi, then only hanzi.
COMPARING TRADITIONAL AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING
Q14: For your teaching do you use traditional methods (ie,Book, board, rote learning) or interactive methods (touchscreen, tablet, computer, internet), or both?
[ ] Traditional teaching
[ ] Interactive teaching
[Y] Both
There are computers at the teaching setting:
– High School/College – Powerpoint/Video.
- Work – Powerpoint/Video
- no touchscreen interfaces used in teaching.
Q15: In some ways do you prefer for students to continue to learn from books? Why?
[A] More academically recognised, due to age they cannot, might not or prefer not to use computer.
The interview talked about style of imagery used in books, mentioned that some images appear to be borrowed, conventional, can be cliché and need to be made more real or more classic. AC.What is the intended perception of learning from books – the mythology, ancient, romantic or actual history and fantasized utopia or modern reality?
Q16: As children we interact with toys and games to learn about concepts.
Do you think someone can remember more from traditional learning or interactive learning?
[A] I use games and activities, and roleplay to support learning from books. I give them real money so that they can be the seller and buyer.
Q17: Do you use any interactive games in your sessions for teaching areas such as vocabulary?
[A] Yes, we look at colour – however it depends, we use flashcards, and pens and try to be creative.
In high school I teach peking opera and show them masks.
We look at favourite colours so that we can personalise learning, and make it special to each learner.
Q18: At the Westfield Stratford there is an interactive kiosk by Rosetta Stone, for teaching people to speak Mandarin. Do you think that Rosetta Stone products complements or competes with what you do?
[A] They complement. It is a product for distance learning.
Q19: Have you explored teaching through visual or written storytelling, modern or ancient poetry?
[A] We have looked at stories, using zodiac animals, spring festival, dragon festival, looked at a bit of poetry, looked at autumn festival and mooncakes, exploring each festival and it’s associated food connections.
Q20: Visual imagery can be very useful way to communicate character and word associations. Do you use visual methods such as flashcards, or pictures, or videos for teaching?
[A] Yes.
Q21: Have you heard of websites and phone applications such as Google Translate, Nciku, Skritter and Pleco? If you have not heard of any of these just say.
[A] Yes to all except Pleco. Opinions?…don’t need online dictionaries. Use Cihai dictionary which means ‘word ocean’.
PRONOUNCIATION
Q22: When talking about students pronounciation. Do your students record their voice, to playback and compare with a native speech?
[A] Record on mobile device. Can send mp3s from mobile from sender. Practise of pronounciation is best. I encourage students to speak for about 3 mins with a provided topic or open topic of their own choosing.
Q23: What are the first things that you teach a student? Ie.Tones, pronounciation, character strokes, etc.
[A] Technique: (1) Tones (2) Pronounciation (3) Words (4) Sentences (5) A Few characters.
Q24: As well as the speech by respected and qualified teachers, in your opinion who are the most highly regarded speakers of the language? For example are they broadcasters, news presenters, government officers, actors, singers, etc?
Can you name any good current role models who represent the language well?
[A] News presenters. AC.We talked about people of different professions who have particular reasons for speaking in a particular way and also regional dialects though these apparently are not required in teaching of mandarin.
Q25: Why are your students learning Chinese? Can you list some of their reasons for learning?
[A] There are two main groups:
1) Business Group – In future they would like to work in China.
2) Personal Group with two sub-branches
a) Interested in culture/something new.
b) Background interest – they may be half-chinese, from China, looking to re-integrate, move back (this is about 50% of her students.)
c) Influence of partner – one example would be to return to retire.
Q26: Do your students have the opportunity to practice with native speakers, in addition to your teaching?
[A] Most don’t have the opportunity to practice with a native Chinese speaker, even if parent is Chinese! Their environment is mostly English. AC.We talked about exposure through living in a certain area though it was thought that this is irrelevant, it is though work and social connections that practice is enabled not geographical location in London/SE England. It is certainly more relevant that through related social meetups and China-related vocational work their practise is more possible.
Q27: Are you aware of spoken and written skill level differences between learners of Mandarin, between Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, especially at high school level?
[A] No answer. AC. See also Question 10 answers for feedback on Taiwanese learning skill at certain ages. The question was too broad for comparison to accurately answer for other regions, based on experience, and also it was seen that any differences are not necessarily noticeable.
GENERAL
Q28: Do you think that people will need to learn Mandarin for business in the future, or is English sufficient in some ways?
[A] This question had been asked before. English can be spoken to some extent in major cities.
The answer is that it depends on where they want to work.
Example:
Someone who works in Shanghai for a global company. Say they have been learning Mandarin for 2 years, though they can get by conversationally, they will not find it easy to involve business objectives. They will find that they cannot read business contracts or read specific technical words without specific work-related study.
Q29: Do you try to immerse your students as much as possible in the culture (such as music and art) in your lessons, or keep as much as possible to the core language learning?
[A] About 20% culture, 80% language.
Q30: Are there any questions that you have, or anything that you would like to add?
[A] You should look further at ‘Teaching’ as well as ‘Learning’.
There are two kinds of teacher and differences in teaching between Taiwan and Mainland China.
If people want to work in Taipei, English can be sufficient.
Example 1:
Materials
TW – Can teach with additional materials.
CN – The teachers mostly focus on the book. Think that additional materials are not needed.
Example 2:
Information
TW – Teachers can find more information available, and other viewpoints can be found.
CN – There is less info for teachers, and usually one viewpoint.
Example 3:
Lesson style in English
TW – When the teacher learnt English in Taiwan, then lessons were in English only. This was the base language for lessons.
UK – When teaching Mandarin in the UK, the lesson structure is entirely in English.
Example 4:
Lesson style in Mandarin
Used to teaching Mandarin Chinese as a base language in Taiwan for students from South Korea, Japan, and other nearby regions.
AC.Close of Interview.

b) Background interest – they may be half-chinese, from China, looking to re-integrate, move back (this is about 50% of her students.)
c) Influence of partner – one example would be to return to retire.
Q26: Do your students have the opportunity to practice with native speakers, in addition to your teaching?
[A] Most don’t have the opportunity to practice with a native Chinese speaker, even if parent is Chinese! Their environment is mostly English. AC.We talked about exposure through living in a certain area though it was thought that this is irrelevant, it is though work and social connections that practice is enabled not geographical location in London/SE England. It is certainly more relevant that through related social meetups and China-related vocational work their practise is more possible.
Q27: Are you aware of spoken and written skill level differences between learners of Mandarin, between Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, especially at high school level?
[A] No answer. AC. See also Question 10 answers for feedback on Taiwanese learning skill at certain ages. The question was too broad for comparison to accurately answer for other regions, based on experience, and also it was seen that any differences are not necessarily noticeable.
GENERAL
Q28: Do you think that people will need to learn Mandarin for business in the future, or is English sufficient in some ways?
[A] This question had been asked before. English can be spoken to some extent in major cities.
The answer is that it depends on where they want to work.
Example:
Someone who works in Shanghai for a global company. Say they have been learning Mandarin for 2 years, though they can get by conversationally, they will not find it easy to involve business objectives. They will find that they cannot read business contracts or read specific technical words without specific work-related study.
Q29: Do you try to immerse your students as much as possible in the culture (such as music and art) in your lessons, or keep as much as possible to the core language learning?
[A] About 20% culture, 80% language.
Q30: Are there any questions that you have, or anything that you would like to add?
[A] You should look further at ‘Teaching’ as well as ‘Learning’.
There are two kinds of teacher and differences in teaching between Taiwan and Mainland China.
If people want to work in Taipei, English can be sufficient.
Example 1:
Materials
TW – Can teach with additional materials.
CN – The teachers mostly focus on the book. Think that additional materials are not needed.
Example 2:
Information
TW – Teachers can find more information available, and other viewpoints can be found.
CN – There is less info for teachers, and usually one viewpoint.
Example 3:
Lesson style in English
TW – When the teacher learnt English in Taiwan, then lessons were in English only. This was the base language for lessons.
UK – When teaching Mandarin in the UK, the lesson structure is entirely in English.
Example 4:
Lesson style in Mandarin
Used to teaching Mandarin Chinese as a base language in Taiwan for students from South Korea, Japan, and other nearby regions.

Research Process - Rosetta Stone (09 Dec 2011)
ROSETTA STONE INTERFACE - Drawn from seeing the Interactive at Stratford Westfield.
Explanation of each screen:
1.BASIC VOCABULARY
The learner is given a pinyin and character sentence. For the answer they can select the pinyin and the matching image. If they do not get the correct match they can select another picture until they find the correct answer.
2.MATCHING CHARACTER
The learner can click on the pinyin and hear the sound, and then see the matching character. They can then click next to go onto the next item.
3.ALPHABET/PHONETIC INDEX
The learner can see the matching characters for a single sound such as bao. This shows them that one sound can have several matching characters, and to take care when expressing the meaning. This is a reference screen and can provide a way of identifying characters.
4.SPEECH WITH SENTENCE
A sentence is spoken with intentional blanks in the sentence. The learner is given several alternatives, usually two displayed vertically and they can choose one to fill in the blanks. They will be given feedback if the chosen blank is grammatically incorrect.
5.SPEAKING AND RECORDING
The learner can listen to a sentence, repeat with their own speech and then see if they have pronounced items correctly.
6.GRAMMAR REVISION
Once they have finished recording they will be presented with a screen to show them which sounds were correctly or incorrectly prounounced. This pronouciation accuracy can be calibrated from easy to difficult within the settings.

----------------------------
from page 5 - CITE THEM RIGHT BOOKCiting multiple sources
If you need to refer to two or more publications at the same time, these can be separated by semicolons. (;) then chronologically by year of publication, with most recent first.
eg.Recent studies (Williams,2009; Andrews et al., 2008; Martin and Richards, 2008; Town, 2009) considered...Citing multiple-author edited publications
If you want to cite a book edited by Holmes and Baker, which has for example ten contributors, but does not specify who wrote which section or chapter, follow this format.
eg.Recent research (Holmes and Baker, 2009, pp.411-428) proved...Citing multiple publications published in the same year by the same authorsCiting more than two or more publications by an author or authors published in the same year. To distinguish between the authors use lower case letters in alphabetical order after publication date.
eg.in his study Miller (2006a, p.18) emphasised the painter's mastery. However, his final analysis on this subject (Miller,2006b,pp. 143-152) argued that...
in reference list this would be shown as:
Miller, S. (2006a) Flemish masters.
London; Phaidon Press
Miller, S. (2006b) Rubens.
London: Killington PressTo cite different editions of the same work by the same author, separate the dataes of publication with a semicolon:
In both editions (Hawksworth, 2007;2002)Where author cannot be identified
In a recent study (Health of the nation, 2009, p.94), statistics showed...Where the date of the work cannot be identified, use the phrase 'no date'
In an interesting survey, the authors (Harvey and Williams, no date, pp.243-245) conclude that much research has concentrated on...Where both the author and date are unknown, the citation would look like this:
Integrated transport systems clearly work (Trends in European Transport systems, no date p. 49).If citing a webpage:
The latest survey of professionals () reveals that ...Setting out quotations
Quotations should be relevant to your argument and used judiciously in your text.
eg.
Bryson (2004, p. 156) commented that 'If you need to illustrate the idea of 19c America as a land of opportunity,etc'.
Longer quotations should be entered as a separate paragraph:
King (1997) describes the interwining of fate and memory in many evocative passages:
quote inline of the etc...while summer lay all about them, breathless as a gasp. Roland looked up and saw...Paraphrasing
Eg.
Harrison (2007, p. 48) clearly distinguishes between the historical...etc
Putting someone else's writing in own words.Summarising
Netheless, one important study (Harrison, 2007) looks closely at the historical and linguistic links between,etcMaking changes to quotations
'Drug prevention...efforts backed this up' (Gardner,2007, p.49).Adding additional words to quotations
'In this field [crime prevention], community support officers...' (Higgins, 2008, p.17).Pointing out an error in a quotation
Wiiliams (2008, p.86) noted that 'builders maid [sic]' bricks
'Hast thou not removed one Grain of Dirt and Rhubbish?' (Kent)
'Have you not removed one grain of dirt or rubbish?' (Kent, 1727, p.2, spelling modernised)If original text includes italics make su re that these are included
'Large numbers of women etc'Secondary referencing – citing the work of one author when it has been cited in the work of another author
eg.
(CITED SOURCE AND AUTHOR IN BRACKETS)
Murray's conclusion (2007, p.82) supports the views of White (2001, cited in Murray, 2007, p.82) on genetic abnormalities in crops.

Citethemright: Page 9How should I set out references in my reference list and bibliography?
In the Harvard (author-date) system, your references link with the in-text citations so that the reader can confirm the full publication details of the work cited in the text.
Example:In-text citation
In a recently published survey (Hill, Smith and Reid, 2010, p. 93) the authors argue that...Reference list:
Hill, P., Smith, R. And Reid, L. (2010) Education in the 21st century. London: Education Research Press
Works cited in appendices but not in the main text should still be included in the reference list.
Examples:
Surname, first letter - Hill, P
Contributing names
Some publications are written by corporations ie.University of Cumbria
If publication is compiled by an editor or editors – add (ed) or (eds)
Do not use anon, use the title of the work
Title of publication in italics
PAGE 10:
- only include edition number if it is higher than the first edition, edition is abbreviated to ednPlace of publication and publisher
included for books in this order – place of publication: publisher
ie. London: Initial Music PublishingISBNs
ISBNs are not normally used in referencesPage reference
- usually only need to include page numbers in the in-text citation, and not in the reference list unless a particular chapter is being referred to, then show a range pp. 90-99.Series
Include series and volume number if relevantTitle of journal/newspaper article
- use the title given at the beginning of the article
- put the title in quotesTitle of journal/newspaper
- use the title given on the journal/newspaper front cover
- capitalise the first letter of each word, except for linking words such as as, and, of, the, for
- put the title of the journal/newspaper in italics
- abbreviate titles of science journalsIssue info
For serial publications (journals, newspapers, etc) include the following information
order volume number, followed by issue/part number in round brackets, date or season for example 87(3); or summer; or 19 julyURL (Uniform Resource Locator)
When referencing a web page, you include the same details as you would for a book (author, title, publisher/producer)
Can truncate the web page url if necessary
Include the date you accessed a webpage ie. (Accessed: 14 Feb 2010)
Online information using Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
ie. 10.1088/0004-6256/136/1/312Journal articles using article numbers and DOIs
Some publishers use article numbers instead of issue and page numbers. Each article has a new set of page numbers, rather than the traditional model of a single set of page numbers running through all the articles in an issue.Unpublished works
You can cite and reference unpublished documents, research and so on in the same way as published, but make it clear that the work remains unpublished.

from page 5 - CITE THEM RIGHT BOOKCiting multiple sources
If you need to refer to two or more publications at the same time, these can be separated by semicolons. (;) then chronologically by year of publication, with most recent first.
eg.Recent studies (Williams,2009; Andrews et al., 2008; Martin and Richards, 2008; Town, 2009) considered...Citing multiple-author edited publications
If you want to cite a book edited by Holmes and Baker, which has for example ten contributors, but does not specify who wrote which section or chapter, follow this format.
eg.Recent research (Holmes and Baker, 2009, pp.411-428) proved...Citing multiple publications published in the same year by the same authorsCiting more than two or more publications by an author or authors published in the same year. To distinguish between the authors use lower case letters in alphabetical order after publication date.
eg.in his study Miller (2006a, p.18) emphasised the painter's mastery. However, his final analysis on this subject (Miller,2006b,pp. 143-152) argued that...
in reference list this would be shown as:
Miller, S. (2006a) Flemish masters.
London; Phaidon Press
Miller, S. (2006b) Rubens.
London: Killington PressTo cite different editions of the same work by the same author, separate the dataes of publication with a semicolon:
In both editions (Hawksworth, 2007;2002)Where author cannot be identified
In a recent study (Health of the nation, 2009, p.94), statistics showed...Where the date of the work cannot be identified, use the phrase 'no date'
In an interesting survey, the authors (Harvey and Williams, no date, pp.243-245) conclude that much research has concentrated on...Where both the author and date are unknown, the citation would look like this:
Integrated transport systems clearly work (Trends in European Transport systems, no date p. 49).If citing a webpage:
The latest survey of professionals () reveals that ...Setting out quotations
Quotations should be relevant to your argument and used judiciously in your text.
eg.
Bryson (2004, p. 156) commented that 'If you need to illustrate the idea of 19c America as a land of opportunity,etc'.
Longer quotations should be entered as a separate paragraph:
King (1997) describes the interwining of fate and memory in many evocative passages:
quote inline of the etc...while summer lay all about them, breathless as a gasp. Roland looked up and saw...Paraphrasing
Eg.
Harrison (2007, p. 48) clearly distinguishes between the historical...etc
Putting someone else's writing in own words.Summarising
Netheless, one important study (Harrison, 2007) looks closely at the historical and linguistic links between,etcMaking changes to quotations
'Drug prevention...efforts backed this up' (Gardner,2007, p.49).Adding additional words to quotations
'In this field [crime prevention], community support officers...' (Higgins, 2008, p.17).Pointing out an error in a quotation
Wiiliams (2008, p.86) noted that 'builders maid [sic]' bricks
'Hast thou not removed one Grain of Dirt and Rhubbish?' (Kent)
'Have you not removed one grain of dirt or rubbish?' (Kent, 1727, p.2, spelling modernised)If original text includes italics make su re that these are included
'Large numbers of women etc'Secondary referencing – citing the work of one author when it has been cited in the work of another author
eg.
(CITED SOURCE AND AUTHOR IN BRACKETS)
Murray's conclusion (2007, p.82) supports the views of White (2001, cited in Murray, 2007, p.82) on genetic abnormalities in crops.
(BOTH AUTHORS IN BRACKETS)
There was further evidence to support researchers' views on crops (White, 2001, cited in Murray, 2007, p. 82).
(FIRST AUTHORS PUBLICATION IN BRACKETS)
Murray (2007, p. 82), citing White's views on genetic abnormalities in crops (2001), supports the view that...
Citethemright: Page 9How should I set out references in my reference list and bibliography?
In the Harvard (author-date) system, your references link with the in-text citations so that the reader can confirm the full publication details of the work cited in the text.
Example:In-text citation
In a recently published survey (Hill, Smith and Reid, 2010, p. 93) the authors argue that...Reference list:
Hill, P., Smith, R. And Reid, L. (2010) Education in the 21st century. London: Education Research Press
Works cited in appendices but not in the main text should still be included in the reference list.
Examples:
Surname, first letter - Hill, P
Contributing names
Some publications are written by corporations ie.University of Cumbria
If publication is compiled by an editor or editors – add (ed) or (eds)
Do not use anon, use the title of the work
Title of publication in italics
PAGE 10:
- only include edition number if it is higher than the first edition, edition is abbreviated to ednPlace of publication and publisher
included for books in this order – place of publication: publisher
ie. London: Initial Music PublishingISBNs
ISBNs are not normally used in referencesPage reference
- usually only need to include page numbers in the in-text citation, and not in the reference list unless a particular chapter is being referred to, then show a range pp. 90-99.Series
Include series and volume number if relevantTitle of journal/newspaper article
- use the title given at the beginning of the article
- put the title in quotesTitle of journal/newspaper
- use the title given on the journal/newspaper front cover
- capitalise the first letter of each word, except for linking words such as as, and, of, the, for
- put the title of the journal/newspaper in italics
- abbreviate titles of science journalsIssue info
For serial publications (journals, newspapers, etc) include the following information
order volume number, followed by issue/part number in round brackets, date or season for example 87(3); or summer; or 19 julyURL (Uniform Resource Locator)
When referencing a web page, you include the same details as you would for a book (author, title, publisher/producer)
Can truncate the web page url if necessary
Include the date you accessed a webpage ie. (Accessed: 14 Feb 2010)
Online information using Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
ie. 10.1088/0004-6256/136/1/312Journal articles using article numbers and DOIs
Some publishers use article numbers instead of issue and page numbers. Each article has a new set of page numbers, rather than the traditional model of a single set of page numbers running through all the articles in an issue.Unpublished works
You can cite and reference unpublished documents, research and so on in the same way as published, but make it clear that the work remains unpublished.
