The Harvard referencing system

The Harvard referencing system is a method of source citation with widespread use in the world of academia, particularly in a university setting. 

In the reference list, or bibliography (which is usually found at the end of a paper or essay), the following information should be displayed for each source:
  1. Name of the author(s)
  2. Year published
  3. Title
  4. City published
  5. Publisher
  6. Pages used
Generally, citations follow this format:
  • Last name, First Initial. (Year published). Title. City: Publisher, Page(s).
In-text citations, displayed after a quote, generally follow this format:

  • (Last name, Year published)
