Anyone good at Harvard Referencing?

[mosschops30]

I have 2 papers one by Rees and Bloggs in 2002 and one by Rees Jones and Smith in 2002

now when referencing do they go in as Rees and Bloggs (2002a) and Rees et al (2002b) or can I do without the a and b

(when i use the NMC and the NMC Prep they have to be labelled a and b but I'm not sure with this one)

TIA

DS went back to Warwick yesterday & took his harvard referencing guide with him, but I found this on the Warwick website - any use?

thank you this is what i found on there

If you have consulted two or more works published by an author in the same year, they are lettered a), b) and so on:

Halliday, M.A.K. (1967a) Intonation and Grammar in British English

Halliday, M.A.K. (1967b) Grammar, Society and the Noun

but still not sure because the articles have different authors even though the same author is on both

et al is only used when there are more than 3 authors. I think they go in as Rees and Bloggs (2002) and Rees,Jones and Smith(2002) since it isn't actually the same authors overall. It's very common for Prof X to be credited as a joint author on all articles written by their research students and sometimes colleagues so you will see unlikely levels of productivity sometimes.

To be honest, the rules often aren't what matters most, it's consistency.

thanks eek have done that
