Harvard Citation Guide

Harvard referencing is an author-date citation system widely used in academic institutions across the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries. Unlike most other styles, it is not governed by a single authoritative body, which means formatting details can vary between universities.

Harvard style is commonly required in business, management, and the natural sciences at UK and Australian universities. Many institutions publish their own Harvard referencing guides with specific formatting requirements.

Harvard uses an author-date in-text citation system similar to APA but with notable formatting differences, such as the use of "and" instead of "&" in citations and different conventions for capitalization and punctuation in the reference list.
