Citing References>Books - Editor


3/14





To begin with we need to identify aneditor or editors.

In this instance, the editor is: Tim

May.

In our Harvard reference list, his

name would be written as:


4/14







May.



May, T., ed.


5/14







May.



May, T., ed.Note that first name(s) are always

given as initials, even if the original

document gives the name(s) in full.

You should add ed. after the name

of the editor (eds. for editors).


6/14


Next, the citation will need to give the yearof publication. Even though this may not

be on the main title page, the yearis still

always the second item of information

given in a Harvard format reference.

In this instance, you will need to look on

the reverse of the title page to find the

date.

It is2002.So, in our Harvard reference list, our

reference now reads:


7/14








date.


reference now reads:May, T., ed., 2002.


8/14








date.


reference now reads:May, T., ed., 2002.Note the full stops and commas that

separate each element.


9/14


Next follows the title and (if there is one)the sub-title of the book. This information

is always on the main title page.

In this instance, the title is

Qualitative Research in Action.

There is no sub-title.

So, our reference now reads:


10/14








May, T., ed., 2002. Qualitative

research in action.


11/14









research in action.Note that book titles (and sub-

titles) are typed in italics (or, if writtenby hand, underlined).


12/14


Lastly, the reference will need to say whereand by whom (person or organisation) the

book was published

In this instance, the place of

publication is London. If there is

more than one city listed, give thefirst one (or the location of the

publishers head office).

The book was published by Sage.

Omit words such as Publications.

So, our complete reference now

reads:


13/14



book was published

In this instance, the place of

publication is London. If there is

more than one city listed, give thefirst one (or the location of the

publishers head office).

The book was published by Sage.

Omit words such as Publications or

Publishing.


reads:


research in action. London: Sage.


14/14
