Weird presentation in Harvard

Post by Deus »

When trying to cite a website by the Department for Skills and Education, Bookends puts it as: Education, D.f.S.a. The Standards Site: FAQ.

It doesn't put the name properly nor does it put the accessed date on??

For an edited book, I put Frank Hartle as THE author. What do I get?
(Ed.) (2005) Shaping up to the Future :A guide to roles, structures and career development in secondary schools, Summary Report National College for School Leadership,

:shock: (Ed.)?? :roll:

and it the body, for some reason it writes:
(Hartle and , 2005)

Is it just doing random stuff?!? I think I'll have to redo all my bibliography because I'm not sure I can trust this piece of software with my scores.. :cry:

Have you referred to the User Guide?

Corporate/Institutional names should end in a comma:

Department for Skills and Education,
...nor does it put the accessed date on??
That's not enough info. Presumably you'll have to edit the format to add an Internet Type (we don't provide one).

If it's an edited book, there is no author, there is an editor. The name belongs in the Editors field in Bookends.

I suggest you download the User Guide and refer to the sections on formatting.

Fair enough!
I'll give that a go.
