Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

{{Harvard citation | ''Last name of author(s)'' | ''Year'' | ''Location in the text'' }}

Alternative to using Location, you may also use the following parameters:

p = page pp = pages

Notes

• The abbreviation Harv may be used.
• The first parameter is the author's last name.
• The second parameter is the year of publication.
• The third parameter is the location of the cited material within the reference. This parameter is optional.
• The parameter p is an optional page parameter (e.g., "{{ Harv | Smith | 2006 | p=25 }}" yields (Smith 2006, p. 25).
• The parameter pp is an optional page range parameter (e.g., "{{ Harv | Smith | 2006 | pp=25-26 }}" yields (Smith 2006, pp. 25-26).

If Ref=none, then no hyperlink is created.

• To avoid the brackets surrounding the citation, use {{Harvard citation no brackets}} (or {{Harvnb}}).
