Harvard Referencing Guide: Images - Figure from a book

Figure from a book

 

 

Images fall into two broad categories. These are ;

 

Figures.  These include photographs, illustrations, drawings, diagrams, logos, graphs and maps etc.

Tables.    These are simply word/numbers that are displayed in orderly rows as columns such as a spreadsheet.

 

• Include a caption with a number and in-text citation -  below the image for a figure but above the image for a table.
• Make a reference to the image at the relevant point in your text.
• Include a full reference in your Reference List/Bibliography

 

A reference to an image from a book will generally require the following elements:

• Author of the book          
• Year of publication                     (in round brackets)
• Title of the book                         (in italics)
• Place of publication: Publisher

As can be seen from the illustration (see Figure 2), the plumage of a tawny owl is an intricate mix of black, white, brown and grey which provides the bird with excellent camouflage.
