YouTube videos, in general, aren&#8217;t considered credible academic sources, and you&#8217;ll want to find journal articles or books that contain scholarly information to reference in your paper. But fear not, because there are plenty of ways to cite a YouTube video the same way you would cite any other source.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youtube\"><\/span>Youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are certain rules that you must follow when referencing a YouTube video in a Harvard paper. One of them is to provide the time code for the video, formatted as minutes:seconds. If you are citing the entire video, you do not need to include the time code. The presence of a male in the title is not an error; it is simply a coincidence. The first 20 seconds are the only part of a video that requires a time code.<\/p>\n<p>In Harvard style, referencing an online video requires you to give the source of the video. You can provide a link to the video using the author and the screen name of the person who uploaded the video. If the video was uploaded by another person, you should include their name in the citation. It is best to cite the author of the video in a separate paragraph in your essay. Otherwise, you can include the video&#8217;s URL.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kanopy_database\"><\/span>Kanopy database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Harvard referencing style does not recognize YouTube videos as a traditional source of academic writing. However, many universities have published guidelines and citation guides online. If you want to cite a YouTube video in your academic paper, you should first determine what kind of citation style your professor prefers. Harvard style requires you to cite a video by citing its time code, which should be formatted as minutes:seconds. If the video is an entire work, you do not need to include a time code.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ways to use the Kanopy database is to find the title of a film that you&#8217;re interested in. The database provides links to thousands of movies and videos from popular film production companies, including the Criterion Collection, The Great Courses, New Day Films, HBO California Newsreel, and Kino Lorber. You can create playlists and embed videos, and many titles have public performance rights for campus use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Name_of_the_person_or_organization_responsible_for_uploading_the_video\"><\/span>Name of the person or organization responsible for uploading the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The University&#8217;s YouTube channel shares videos related to learning and campus life. As long as the video is not altered or edited, media may embed the video or audio from the Harvard account. If it is, the University must obtain permission from the copyright holder. Harvard also grants copyrights to certain organizations and individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to abide by the guidelines laid out in the MLA Handbook, 9th edition.<\/p>\n<p>Citations for online videos should start with the author&#8217;s last name and the timestamp of the relevant part of the video. The name of the person or organization responsible for uploading the video at Harvard should be included in the works cited entry. Unlike paper resources, videos do not have page numbers. This makes it necessary to indicate the place where the clip was filmed. The author of a video can be an organization, company, or individual.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_stamp\"><\/span>Time stamp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Harvard referencing style, you can include a time stamp of a YouTube video in your essay. This is in the form of minutes:seconds. However, if you&#8217;re citing a whole video, you don&#8217;t need to include a time stamp. The time stamp of a YouTube video is just the first twenty seconds of the video, so you don&#8217;t need to include the full video.<\/p>\n<p>Cite the original creator of the video, and include the timestamp of the relevant part of the video. In MLA style, you should start your Works Cited entry with the video&#8217;s title. If the title of the video is long, you can abbreviate it. For example, if the video is called &#8220;An Introduction to the History of Video Content&#8221; and the author is &#8220;Hugh S. Hoyt&#8221; by the creator of the video, you would put &#8220;H. Hoyt&#8221; after the first letter.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jga235t0um4\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"197\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Reference a YouTube Video in a Harvard Academic Paper If you&#8217;re writing an academic paper, you may wonder how to reference a YouTube video in a Harvard format.
