Citing and referencing: Harvard

Harvard Referencing Guide
Unlike many referencing styles, there is no source document for a Harvard Guide. This guide is based on Commonwealth of Australia 2002, Style Manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, rev. by Snooks & Co, John Wiley & Sons, Australia, Milton; and a wide range of online Harvard Guides were also consulted.

In addition to this Library Guide there is also a PDF version of the Monash online Harvard Guide.

Features:

• A table of contents, which can be used as a quick guide on each page
• examples of in-text citing for each source type
• basic explanations of key terms and symbols used in referencing
• more comprehensive coverage of source types
• rules for page numbers at the top of each page
• notes included with individual examples where relevant, highlighting details that may be overlooked
• tips for figures, tables and musical notation at Appendix A
• a quick guide for referencing articles at Appendix B
• a quick guide to in-text referencing at Appendix C
• a sample reference list at Appendix D
