Question 17

Great Britain. Department of Health (2011) Improving Outcomes:a strategy for cancer. First annual report 2011. [Online]. Available at: http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/@dh/@en/@ps/@pub/@ppg/documents/digitalasset/h_131787.pdf (Accessed: 3 February 2012).

The above online report has been referenced using the Harvard style but can you tell who the author is?

This report has been written by a corporate author which is also a government department. If you consult Cite them right, p.46 or 38 (8th edn.) example 13.2 this indicates that the citation should start with the name of the country, followed by the name of the government department.

The correct answer is therefore:

Great Britain. Department of Health

Always check your referencing guidelines/style manuals to see what the rules specify in your chosen referencing style.
