How do I organise my reference list in the Harvard style?

Answer

 

Full references of sources used should be listed as a reference list at the end of your work. Whenever possible, elements of a bibliographical reference should be taken from the title page of the publication or from the library catalogue.

This list of references is arranged alphabetically by the first element of the reference, which is usually the author's last name. Alternatively, this could be the name of an organisation, a country, or the title of legislation, depending on the reference format for that particular source.

For author names, provide the surname first, followed by initials.

E.g. James Robert Jones will become Jones, J. R.

E.g. Abdul-Rahman Al-Haddad would be Al-Haddad, A.

Each reference should provide the elements and punctuation relevant to the source that you are including in your reference list.
