If you need to cite a reference source that is not available in the wizards you may use this form to let me know. If enough people request this it will be added; I will try to post some hints on referencing your source on the forum in the meantime.

Note the Harvard system of referencing is not 'tightly' specified and some variation in the use of capital letters, italics, the use of parentheses and text styles does occur in different institutions and journals. Please check the 'house style' that is specified for your publication, thesis, dissertation or assignment before submitting your work.

If you have arrived at this page directly, through Google for example, you may find the articles on referencing, the perils of Wikipedia, and the tools for evaluating the clarity of your writing useful also.
