APPENDICES

If you are unable to find either a named or corporate author, you should use ‘Anon’ as the author name.
Be careful: if you cannot find an author for online work, it is not a good idea to use this work as part of your
research. It is essential that you know where a piece of work has originated, because you need to be sure of
the quality and reliability of any information you use.

Citing from multi-media works

If you need to cite a multi-media work, you would usually use the title of the TV programme (including online
broadcasts) or video recording, or title of the film (whether on DVD, online, or video) as the author. This would
include, for example, videos posted on YouTube or other video-streaming web services.
Therefore, your citation should use the title that you identify as the author.
Cynics might argue that the experiment is another headline-grabbing TV stunt by brand Jamie Oliver, but
might there actually be some serious lessons here for educationalists? (Dream School, 2011)

Citing from an interview or personal communication

Always use the surname of the interviewee/practitioner as the author.
MIT are also planning on reviewing their undergraduate research scheme (Bergren, 2008).

Good quotation practice using the Harvard style

Quotations longer than two lines should be inserted as a separate, indented paragraph.
Lave and Wenger (1991) note that the role of the master is principally to provide legitimate access of the
apprentice to the learning opportunities present in the community of practice, and not to teach.
‘In all five cases there is very little observable teaching; the more basic phenomenon is learning. The
practice of the community creates the potential ‘curriculum’ - that which may be learned by newcomers with
legitimate peripheral access.’ (p 93)
Or
The role of the master is principally to provide legitimate access of the apprentice to the learning
opportunities present in the community of practice, and not to teach.
