Referencing BOOKS (print/online)HARVARD STYLE

This article is for those students who struggle for referencing; i have assembled various types of referencing in different posts under different headings. This is Harvard style of referencing. I'm sure you want to learn it because you don't want to be the victim of plagiarism.

List of references

At the end of your essay, place a list of the references you have cited in the text. Arrange this in alphabetical order of authors' surnames, and chronologically (earliest publication date first) for each author, where more than one work by that author is cited. The author's surname is placed first, followed by initials or first name, and then the year of publication is given.
