There are many variations of Harvard available and there is no right or wrong version. However, it is important that you use the same version throughout your bibliography or reference list and do not mix and match.
We have created a Strathclyde Harvard Library style guide (see below) which contains examples for you to follow.
If you use Endnote online (web) we have created a Harvard Strathclyde style that you can use to create your bibliography. It is recommended that you add it to your favourites.
Cite Them Right offers advice about writing references, understanding plagiarism and evaluating source materials. It contains videos and learning tools to help you learn about these topics. Guidance is provided about creating references and citations using a wide range of referencing styles. These styles include Harvard, APA, IEEE, OSCOLA, Chicago and MHRA.
Access to the online version of Cite Them Right is available for academic year 2024/25.
