Research Methodology: Harvard Referencing Style

 Harvard referencing style commonly called author, date referencing style. This is a citation style in which partial citations—for example, "(Smith 2010, p. 1)"—are enclosed within parentheses and embedded in the text, either within or after a sentence. They are accompanied by a full, alphabetized list of citations in an end section, usually titled "references", "reference list", or "end-text citations". Parenthetical referencing can be used in lieu of footnote citations.
