Harvard — Search and write

The Harvard style is a generic term for any referencing system that uses author-date references (citations) in the text of the document where the author and year are placed in parentheses in the text, either within or at the end of a sentence. The full reference details are listed alphabetically at the end of the document.

Guide

There is no official manual for the Harvard style, and different variations are used in several disciplines. Søk og Skriv recommends the guidelines published in Bloomsbury's Cite them right, 13th ed. The library guide at the University of Westminister has information and examples from this guide on their webpage which we include below.
