Citations (sometimes called in-text citations) are included within the text of your work, at points where you have used someone else's information. This could be a quote, a paraphrase or a summary of this source of information. Your citation always includes the author's surname and year of the source. Where a source has four or more authors, use the first author name, then et al. (see example below).
Citations include page numbers where you are using direct quotes and information from specific pages (Pears and Shields, 2022, pp. 20-21). This may not be possible for some sources from the internet that do not display page numbers.
Whatever source you are using, your citation should contain author and year. Where a source from the Internet does not have a named author, you should use the name of the organisation that owns the website in place of the author surname, see the Diabetes UK example below.
Where a corporate organisation is the 'author' of the source you are citing, use the name of the organisation as the author information. If the organisation is well known then you may use their initials, as long as you are sure that the person reading your assignment will recognise them (e.g. you may wish to use St George's in place of City St. George's).
Cite them Right has information on Setting out Citations. From the homepage, select 'choose your referencing style' then select the Harvard option and you will see 'setting out citations' listed on the right hand side. This gives comprehensive guidance on how to cite one, two, three and 'four or more' authors. You will need to log in with your St George's network login to see it.
