How to cite using Harvard style

1 answer

There are different ways to cite using Harvard style depending on the type of source being cited (book, journal article, website, etc.). Here are some examples:

Book:
Author/surname, initial. (Year of publication) Title of Book. Place of publication: Publisher.

Example: Smith, J. (2005) The history of psychology. New York: Wiley & Sons.

Journal article:
Author/surname, initial. (Year of publication) 'Title of article', Title of Journal, volume(issue), page numbers.

Example: Jones, A. (2010) 'The role of motivation in learning', Educational Psychology, 30(2), 200-215.

Website:
Author/surname, initial. (Year of publication or update) Title of web page. [Online] Available at: URL [Accessed date].

Example: World Health Organization (2018) Ebola virus disease. [Online] Available at: https://www.who.int/health-topics/ebola/#tab=tab_1 [Accessed 14 May 2021].

Note: When citing a source with three or more authors, include only the first author's surname followed by 'et al.' (meaning "and others") in the in-text citation and reference list.

Also, be sure to check with your institution for specific guidelines on how to cite using Harvard style, as some variations may exist.
