Frequently Asked Questions
Harvard citation is an author-date style commonly used for referencing in academic writing. It involves citing sources within the text with the author's surname and date of publication, followed by a full reference list at the end.
In Harvard style, you place the author's last name and the publication year in parentheses, e.g., (Smith, 2020). For a book, include author, year, title, edition, publisher, and location in the reference list.
Yes, to cite a journal article in Harvard style, include the author's surname, initial, year, article title, journal name, volume, and page numbers in the reference list.
List the author's surname, initial, year of publication, title in italics, edition if applicable, publisher, and place of publication. For example, Smith, J. (2020). The Art of Reference. 2nd edn. Publishing House, New York.

The format generally includes the author’s surname, year, title of work, title of the publication (for articles), publisher, and page number or DOI if applicable.
Page numbers are needed when citing specific parts of a source directly, such as quotes or where a specific detail is found. Otherwise, they aren't always necessary.
Yes, automated citation generators require input details and provide accurately formatted Harvard citations, aiding efficiency and consistency across references.
