Harvard Referencing Style

Harvard Referencing Style is a system used to credit sources of information used in academic writing. It involves including brief details about a source—such as the author's name and publication year—in the text (called an in-text citation), and providing full details in a list at the end (the reference list). This method helps readers verify sources, shows the basis of your research, and maintains academic honesty. It’s widely used across many disciplines for its clarity and straightforward format, making it easier to connect claims with their original sources.
