Harvard Style is author-date referencing style usually in format: (Author’s Last Name Year of Publication, Page Number(s)). General rules to be followed are:
A. Maximum of 6 authors must be listed in alternate case include 3 names followed by ‘et al’
B. Use initials without spaces and full points
C. Avoid usage of ibid., op. cit., infra., supra
In case, the author gets cited in text, then follow it with the year, in alternate case include last name and year separated by a ‘,’ within parentheses. In case of 2 authors use ‘and’ and for more than 3 authors use ‘et al’. If there is more than one reference to an author, insert a, b etc.in text as well as in the list.
While editing reference list in Harvard style follows below format:
A. It should be arranged in alphabetical order
B. For multiple references of the same author repeat the names rather than using dashes or other marks
C. For names with initials like Jr. or II; format will be: Author, Jr (2009) or Author, II (2008)
D. Include all publication data like issue, volume, page number, name of the publisher and place
Though the guidelines for Harvard style are quite simple, their application varies amongst universities. Hence, students must check for the exact style sheet when using this style for formatting and citations.
