British Standard Harvard 2010

Comparison of QMU Harvard style and British Standard (BS) Harvard 2010

Main changes to note with BS Harvard 2010:• Authors surname in capitals• Use ANON. for works with no author apart from: films, videos

and broadcasts which are the co-operative output of many individuals, no one of whom has a dominant role as creator…title should be first element for these.

• Last author listed initial is followed by a comma.• In journal references abbreviations are included for volume

and issue number
