Please note: Unlike other citation styles, there is no single authority on the Harvard style of referencing. Because of this, there are several variations of Harvard.
This guide provides a modified version of the author-date system presented in: Style manual for authors, editors and printers 2002, 6th edn, rev. Snooks & Co., AGPS, Canberra.
Methods for citing electronic and online sources are changing rapidly and do not always keep pace with the development of new technologies. As the Style manual offers only a few examples, Academic Skills has adapted and modified the existing information. Where no Harvard style options were available, citations are based on APA style.

Always check with your lecturer or tutor about their preferred referencing method. Many UNSW faculties and schools have style guides so check with them about which methods to use.
