In Harvard style, an in-text reference for a journal article typically includes the author's surname, the year of publication, and, if necessary, the page number. Here are a few examples:
-
If you are citing a source generally:
- According to Smith (2020), the findings indicate a significant trend in climate change.
-
If you are quoting directly or need to specify a page:
- "Climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity" (Smith, 2020, p. 45).
-
If you are referencing multiple authors:
- Recent studies show a correlation between diet and health (Jones and Taylor, 2019).
- A more comprehensive analysis supports this theory (Brown et al., 2021).
Make sure to include the full reference in your reference list at the end of your document, following the specific format for a journal article:
Format for a journal article in the reference list:
- Author(s) Last name, Initial(s). (Year) 'Title of the article', Title of the Journal, volume number(issue number), page range. DOI or URL (if applicable).
Example:
- Smith, J. (2020) 'The impact of climate change on agricultural practices', Journal of Environmental Studies, 12(3), pp. 40-50. doi:10.1000/jes.2020.034.
