If you’ve ever struggled with Harvard referencing (and the small but annoying differences imposed by your university or department), you may have wondered what it really is and where it comes from.
Next time you’re halfway through a piece of writing and wondering why you still can’t remember whether something’s italic or roman, “quoted” or ‘quoted’ or whether it’s placed before the publisher or the other way around, have a break and read this page from Harvard Library itself, which explains all about the Harvard Citation Style – also called the Harvard Referencing System.
As a bonus, you will also find links to online guides for the APA, Chicago and MLA styles.
