Basic format to reference journal articles.

“Harvard Style”
1. Author or authors. The surname is followed by first initials.
2. Year of publication of the article.
3. Article title (in single inverted commas).
4. Journal title (in italics).
5. Volume of journal.
6. Issue number of journal.
7. Page range of article.
A reference to a portion of a journal article will look like this:
(Author(s) (Year) Title of this author's contribution, Page numbers of the part of the article in Author(s) of
article. Article title. Journal title Volume (Issue), Page numbers of article.

There are many different ways of citing resources from your research. The citation style
sometimes depends on the academic discipline involved. For example:
 APA (American Psychological Association) is used by Education, Psychology, and Sciences
 MLA (Modern Language Association) style is used by the Humanities
 Chicago/Turabian style is generally used by Business, History, and the Fine Arts

The general form of a journal article reference is:


Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (year). Title of article. Title of
Periodical, Volume number, pages.

Most journals have both volume numbers and issue numbers for the issues within a volume. You
include the volume number. Only include the issue number if each issue starts again at page
number 1.
If the author is not known, the title of the article moves to the author position.

The general formats of a book reference are:


Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (year). Book title. Location: Publisher.
 When the author and the publisher are the same, use the word Author as the name of
the publisher: Washington, DC: Author.
 American cities are followed by the two letter abbreviation of the name of the state,
non-American cities by the name of the country.
 When there are several publication locations, only mention the first (or only the location
of the main office of the publisher if that is indicated).
 In the name of the publisher you can omit unimportant words as Publishers, Inc., Ltd; do
mention the words Books and Press.

A reference to a journal article will look like this:


Author(s) (Year) Article title. Journal Title Volume(Issue), Page numbers.
