This guide shows students and staff how to reference using the Harvard Referencing style.

Citing company information

The content of electronic material for companies changes quickly. Always include the date you accessed the material from the source cited.

  • The author is usually the database provider
  • The date is the year of the publication of the profile
  • In the case of a database that has financial data that is updated regularly use the current year
  • Use a descriptive title to describe data from specialised sources such as Datastream and Bloomberg
