Getting Started

There are two components to referencing:

(1) In-text citations in your paper

(2) The reference list at the end of your paper.

The In-text citation:

Harvard is an 'author/date' style, so your in-text reference or citation always contains author and date details, sometimes the page information is also given in-text. If your in text citation is a general one, not specific to a page and not a quotation or copy, then the in text citation would simply use author and date as below. All quotations or copied text, must have a page number included in the in-text reference, if this is available in the material type you are referencing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A reference list entries contain all the information that someone needs to follow up your in-text citation sources. Reference lists in Harvard are arranged alphabetically by author.

A reference list, gives the full references for your in-text citations only, while a bibliography is a list of all works consulted whether cited in-text or not. Reference lists are most commonly used.
