Harvard referencing

For more details on this topic, see Wikipedia:Harvard referencing.

Under the Harvard referencing system, a book is cited in the text in parentheses, after the section, sentence, or paragraph for which the book was used as a source, using the surname of the author and the year of publication only, with the parentheses closing before the period, as in (Author 2005). These citations can be generated by using inline templates.

A full citation is then placed at the end of the text in an alphabetized list of "References". If full citations use the template, the Harvard citation as above will include an automatic link to the full citation. According to The Oxford Style Manual, the Harvard system is the "most commonly used reference method in the physical and social sciences" (Ritter 2002).

Page numbers must be included in a citation that accompanies a specific quotation from, or a paraphrase or reference to, a specific passage of a book or article. They usually follow the date in this way: (Author 2006:28).

In article, common variations:

* For two authors, use (Smith & Jones 2005); for more authors, use (Smith et al. 2005). * If the same author has published two books in 1996, and both are being referenced in the text, this is written as (Clancy 1996a) and (Clancy 1996b). * The specific page, section, or division of the cited work should usually follow the date in this way: (Author 2006:28). * If the date of publication is unavailable, use "n.d." (meaning, no date) * Newspaper articles may give the name of the newspaper and the date of publication after the sentence (The Guardian, December 17, 2005).

In a "References" section at the end of the article:

For an article: in the case of (Traynor 2005) or (The Guardian, December 17, 2005), this might be:

* Traynor, I. "Judge tells Ankara to decide on fate of leading author", The Guardian, December 17, 2005.
