Harvard Referencing - SETU Libraries Waterford Guide: Citing several authorities to support the same point

I want to cite several authorities to support the same point I am making in my text.

There may be occasions when you wish to cite several authorities to support a point that you are making in your text.

In this case the citations are all included in one set of brackets.

They are presented in chronological order (most recent first) and they are separated by semi-colons.

If two or more works are published in the same year they are listed in alphabetical order by author.

Example:

(Williams, 2012; O'Brien, 2007; White and Lee, 2007; Adnan et al., 2006)

Each of the citations will be listed in the Reference List in the usual manner.
