ARU Harvard

ARU students are now required to use the Cite Them Right style of Harvard referencing, see our Cite Them Right page.

We are no longer updating this guide but it is still available for you to use as a guide to "ARU Harvard". ARU as an institution recommends Cite Them Right Harvard to its own students.


The full guide has two sections. In the first part we show you how to cite a reference in the text of your assignment, in the second part we have included instructions for each of the main source types such as books or web pages. Examples are given in red. Any similarities with published works are coincidental.

For more advice on academic writing, please visit the Study Skills Plus Canvas page.
