University of West London Harvard Style Problems

nellyneale
Hello,
I am using University of West London Harvard Style but my reference when I make a bibliography is-
Booth, S., Funk, K., Haase, S., 2010. Haiti Waste-to-Energy Opportunity Analysis - DINEPA.

When it should be-
Booth, S., Funk, K., Haase, S., (2010). Haiti Waste-to-Energy Opportunity Analysis - DINEPA. Available at: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Booth%2C+Funk%2C+and+Haase%2C+2010+NREL&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a (Accessed: 30 May 2013).
According to Cite Them Right
The title is in Italics and website in blue and underlined.

Please 'help'.
Many thanks
Paul

    the e-mail address of the author is in the style:
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/harvard-university-of-west-london.csl
    I'd suggest contacting him directly.
    I don't think any of us are terribly motivated to fix UK university styles. They should just agree on one and get rid of the rest.

    Hi there, the Cite Them Right style is becoming something of a standard I think - the University of East London also uses it, but as they pay for Endnote they are not interested in adding the style to Zotero either. I contacted them and they said they were reviewing their use of Endnote soon. If Zotero had a Cite Them Right style I imagine that it may have a better chance of being used by UEL students and staff (and would make my life a lot easier!)
  • adamsmith
    that's
    "Cite them right: the essential guide to referencing and plagiarism" by Pears and Shields?
  • nickbraxton
    Yes, that's the one. Here's the link to it on the UEL website: http://www.uel.ac.uk/lls/support/harvard/

    Cite them Right is now up as Harvard - Cite Them Right
    should cover all common item type, including theses, webpages, and newspapers. Doesn't cover any legal citations.

    Oh brilliant, thanks Adam. I'll let the administrators at UEL know too.

    (oh, and obviously - any problems you may find - which may very well exists since I only test so much and don't own the book - please report here or in a new thread)

    I just had a look and spotted a couple of small things:

    PhD theses are missing the words "PhD Thesis" after the title.

    Lectures are missing quite a bit: they should be:
    Author/speaker
    Year (in round brackets)
    Title of communication (in italics)
    Medium (in square brackets)
    Module code: module title (in italics) (if known)
    Institution
    Day/month

    eg
    Brown, T. (2012) Contemporary furniture [Lecture to BSc Design Year 4], DE816: Design for Industry. Northumbria University. 21 April.

    Everything else seemed spot on.
  • adamsmith
    do you have PhD Thesis in the type field of Zotero?
  • nickbraxton
    No... That will explain it then! Sorry.
