Harvard Examples - What is Harvard?

See this example properly formatted in the QUT Cite tool.

Harvard is a referencing style using an author-date system. Every reference is made up of two corresponding parts:

  1. In-text citation(s): Embedded in the writing, in-text citations provide basic information about the cited sources, and the publication year (page numbers are also included if required). These citations allow the reader to go to and locate the full reference in the reference list.
  2. A reference list: Each in-text citation has a corresponding reference list entry grouped in the reference list which is located at the end of the writing. Reference list entries present full details of the sources used, including author's name, publication year, title and publication details. The reference list provides sufficient information for the reader to identify and locate the cited sources.

For more information and examples, see the In-text citation and Reference list sections.
