How to Do Harvard Referencing - A Guide

1.​ Start by Collecting Information: Gather all the details about the
source you used, such as the author's name, the title of the work, the
publication date, and the URL if it's from a website.

2.​ Cite the Author: Write the last name of the author, followed by a
comma and then the initials of their first and middle names (if
available). For example: Smith, J. D.

3.​ Add the Year: Include the year of publication in parentheses after the
author's name. For example: (2022).
4.​ Title of the Work: Write the title of the article, book, or webpage in
italics. For example: The Importance of Reading.

5.​ Provide the Publication Information: If it's a book, include the place
of publication and the publisher. For online sources, add the URL.

6.​ In-Text Citations: When referencing within your text, include the
author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses. For
example: (Smith, 2022).

7.​ Creating a Reference List: At the end of your work, list all your
references in alphabetical order by the author's last name. Include all
the information in a standardized format.

Differences between In-Text Citations and Full References:

●​ In-Text Citations: In-text citations are brief references within the


body of your work that point readers to the full reference at the end.
They typically include the author's last name and the year of
publication in parentheses.
●​ Full References: Full references appear at the end of your work in a
separate section titled "References" or "Bibliography." They provide
all the details needed for readers to locate the original source,
including the author's full name, title of the work, publication
information, and URL if applicable.
