Has your department requested that you complete your academic references in the Wolverhampton University Harvard referencing style? Find out exactly what this variation of the Harvard style is by reading on. Then try the RefME app and web tool and have the whole thing done for you automatically, within moments. It’s referencing made easy.
Wolverhampton University Harvard referencing is a sub-style of Harvard, created and used as the standard referencing style at Wolverhampton University. Harvard style referencing is used to show where another author’s work has contributed to the findings presented in an academic essay or paper.
Wolverhampton University Harvard style is presented in the parenthetical format. This simply means that there is a citation presented in the text and a full corresponding reference at the end of the paper. This style of referencing allows the reader to see where another author’s data, finding or theory has contributed within the text. The reader can also see a full reference, which allows them to find the original source and read it for themselves.
To reference in the Wolverhampton University style, you need to create a citation within the text and a full corresponding reference list.
To create the citation, there are two important pieces of information you need to know about the source: the author’s name and the year of publication. The citation is shown in brackets at the end of the appropriate sentence within the text. When the author’s name already appears within the text, only the year of publication is shown within the citation and it is located directly afterwards.
To create the full reference, more information about the source is needed. The full reference should start with the authors name and the year of publication so it can be easily found in the alphabetised reference list.
Each source type should be referenced in a different format – for example a book should be formatted differently to a website or academic journal in the reference list.
A lot to think about? Simply search for the book, journal or website in RefME’s app or web platform, set it to the correct style and have all your Wolverhampton University Harvard references generated automatically for you.

This book gave a different viewpoint to the Kokoda campaign. it contains many images captured of the men who fought but not just on the battlefield but in day to day life on the Kokoda trail. This gives an insight on how the people coped and survived whilst being on the track, and how the Australian spirit still prospered in times of despair. The book also contains information on how they lived and what they had to carry, this gives an idea of the mindset they would have been in before even venturing to the battlefield. (Lindsay, 2009)

On a very high level, yes, it is absolutely ideal. Good films at modest budgets are far more achievable now than then have ever been and clearly, the less you spend the easier it is to make profit and with the backing of a major studio (who have enough MAJOR titles to negate the risk of even a £10M spend on a low budget movie) you are almost guaranteed and audience and a profit. However, FIRST, this model doesn't really exist in the UK. Even from major distributors like Universal, they are rarely going to spend 8 figures on a low budget movie, unless the film is one of the tiny proportion of films that is genuinely exceptional. Plus, this model is only really achievable with the highly genre style films as we've seen through the Jason Blum's model (mainly horror and thriller.) When it comes to other genres, the success of the film (based on the distributors' ability and inclination to place it in the market) is going to based heavily on cast. And securing cast at a low budget is very difficult UNLESS you have an absolutely exceptional script. And if you've got an exceptional script, you are more likely to have an exceptional film, which the distributors might take a risk on. The way I see it, if the distributor backs a project (genuinely backs it) it will perform. (Brown, 2014)
