Library Guides: Citing and Referencing: Harvard Style Citing and Referencing

Harvard Style Citing and Referencing

Harvard Style citations are in-text citations using the author's surname and the year the resource was published, like this: (Clifford, 2018). At the end of the work, a list of references appears in alphabetical order, so that readers can quickly look up a particular author and find the full details of their work.
