EPQ skills #3 - How to Reference (including Harvard and Vancouver styles)

In this video we are continuing our series on EPQ skills. We discuss how to reference in the EPQ (although you can use the same technique for any type of academic writing). In the video I walk you through how to do a Vancouver citation using citethisforme.com. We also talk about the Harvard referencing format. At the end, I also answer some FAQs about referencing.

Update: having done more literature searches and research over my university career - I would now recommend you manage your references using a reference manager software like zotero, rather than manually generating them with the method i recommended in this video!

[@Hannah-uf1xu]

This was absolutely amazing!!! Made the mistake of leaving referencing till the last minute and this was a massive help !

[@RohanYesudian]

Awesome Hannah so glad it helped!

[@RohanYesudian]

You're welcome! There is another video on academic referencing coming out soon...

[@raheema3850]

Could you summarise how to reference using the Oxford style? Especially with websites, I’m not sure how to get the website and issue number.

[@RohanYesudian]

Hi Raheema, unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the oxford referencing style, but I'm sure citethisforme will help you get the right format

[@spacesphinx9607]

I want to be a virologist(research and eventually consultancy), would you suggest doing a medicine degree or biochem, taking into account the difficulties of getting into both, thankyou.

[@RohanYesudian]

Hi unfortunately I'm not really sure what career pathways for virology is like. However, if you are 100% sure you want to do virology research rather than any clinical medicine, doing biochemistry might be a quicker route into the lab for postgraduate studies. However, it's probably best you ask a careers advisor or try emailing a few virologists who might give more relevant advice

[@faithful5470]

Thanks! I am just a little confused because the format of the website has changed, probably because it’s two years later😭 and I can’t find the number I’m supposed to paste on my source.

[@RohanYesudian]

Oh right I didn't realise! I've actually now switched my referencing mover to zotero which is a free reference manager software. Might be worth a try as you can keep track of much more references at once with it compared to the method I suggested in this video!

[@Mito-mp9fk]

When working with websites as resources for citethisforme , if (no date) or the like shows up , should I leave it there?

[@RohanYesudian]

If you know the date you can change it manually
