Harvard Solent style references
Guidance: Author of multiple works
If an author has written more than one work in a year, add a,b,c, etc after the date to distinguish between them.
In text examples:
Smith (2007a, p.22) suggested… Further, Smith (2007b, p.3) explained…
Reference list examples:
SMITH, A., 2007a. How to cite references. Southampton: Solent Publishing
SMITH, A., 2007b. Avoiding plagiarism. Southampton: Solent Publishing
This system applies no matter what format the source material is in; so if an author published a book, a podcast and a journal article all in 2010, they would still be given as 2010a, 2010b and 2010c.
If an author has written more than one solo work in different years, list them in date order (oldest to newest).
Authors with the same surname
If there are two or more different authors with the same surname who have published material in the same year, add the initial after the surname to differentiate them.
In text examples:
As outlined by Martin, J. (2018, p.31) it is clear …. This is also evidenced … (Martin, L. 2018)
Reference list examples:
MARTIN, J., 2018. Academic writing explained. Southampton: Solent Publishing
MARTIN, L., 2018. How to succeed in your studies. Southampton: Solent Publishing
List the items in your full reference list by alphabetical order of surname within the whole list and then by initial where the surnames and year of publication are the same. Where the surnames are the same but the year of publication is different, reference each item as you would normally by author surname and year.
