Harvard referencing handbook (2nd edition)

The University of Lincoln Harvard referencing style

Harvard Referencing

There are two parts to Harvard referencing:

  1. In-text citation
    Your in-text citation should go after a quotation, paraphrase or summary and should include the author's surname, the year of publication and a page number (if applicable). If you use the author's name in the sentence you do not need to repeat it in the in-text citation.
     
  2. Reference list
    Your reference list gives the full publication details of the information source (books, journal articles and websites) that you have cited in your text.
