Examples

Harvard references (books and journals)
  • For books: {{Harvard reference | Surname=Turner | Given=O. | Title=History of the Pioneer Settlement of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase, and Morris' Reserve | Publisher=William Alling | Place=[[Rochester, New York]] | Year=1851 | URL=http://olivercowdery.com/texts/1851Trn1.htm#turn1851 }}.
  • For periodicals: {{Harvard reference | Surname=Smith | Given=J. III | Authorlink=Joseph Smith III | Title=Last Testimony of Sister Emma | Journal=The Saints' Herald | Volume=26 | Issue=19 | Year=1879 | Page=289 | URL=http://www.lavazone2.com/dbroadhu/IL/sain1872.htm#100179 }}.
  • Minimal reference: {{Harvard reference | Last=Jones | Year=2006 }}.
  • Multiple authors: {{Harvard reference | Surname1=Lincoln | Given1=A. | Surname2=Washington | Given2=G. | Surname3=Adams | Given3=J. | Title=All the Presidents' Names | Publisher=The Pentagon | Place=Home Base, New York | Year=2007 }}.

Citation examples, based on related citation template (automatically creates a one-directional link to the first matching Harvard reference on the same page):

  • {{Harvard citation|Turner|1851|pp=10-11}} (full cite format)
  • {{Harv|Smith|1879|p=289}} (short format)
  • {{Harv|Jones|2006|loc=section 5|Ref=none}} (non-linking)
  • {{Harv|Lincoln|Washington|Adams|2007|pp=88-89}} (multi-author)
Notes
  • Because the Harvard referencing style is based on Surname and Year, these items are mandatory in both the citation and the reference.
  • If there is only one author, the parameters Surname and Given may be replaced with Last and First, respectively.
  • Template is generally compatible with Template:Book reference and Template:Journal reference.

Results

Sooo...

Guys, what is the difference between using this template:

* {{Harvard reference
| Surname1=Di Maio
| First1=M
| Surname2=Pisano
| First2=C
| Surname3=Tambaro
| First3=R, Greggi S, Casella G, Laurelli G, Formato R, Iaffaioli RV, Perrone F & Pignata S
| Year=2006
| Title=The prognostic role of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin level in patients with ovarian cancer
| Periodical=Front Biosci
| Volume=11:1585-90
| Date=[[May 1]], [[2006]]
}}. PMID 16368539.

which produces the following result:

  • Di Maio, M, Pisano, C & Tambaro, R, Greggi S, Casella G, Laurelli G, Formato R, Iaffaioli RV, Perrone F & Pignata S (2006), "The prognostic role of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin level in patients with ovarian cancer", Front Biosci, vol. 11:1585-90. PMID 16368539.


and this code:

<li>Di Maio, M, Pisano, C & Tambaro, R, Greggi S, Casella G, Laurelli G, Formato R, Iaffaioli RV, Perrone F & Pignata S (2006), "The prognostic role of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin level in patients with ovarian cancer", <i>Front Biosci</i>, vol. 11:1585-90. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16368539 PubMedID 16368539]</li>.

which results in the same thing (at least on my comp):

  • Di Maio, M, Pisano, C & Tambaro, R, Greggi S, Casella G, Laurelli G, Formato R, Iaffaioli RV, Perrone F & Pignata S (2006), "The prognostic role of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin level in patients with ovarian cancer", Front Biosci, vol. 11:1585-90. PubMedID 16368539.

    • besides the fact that the second code doesn't force the servers into a "delivery pizza" situation. Or with other words - what is the benefit of using this sophisticated template? -- Boris 17:01, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

    URL access date

    This template is quite nice, and also beyond my ability to safely and boldly edit. So I write to its maintainers: shold we not have optional fields for URL access date? The Harvard Standard seems to require one when a URL is included in the citation (as this template allows), formatted as d MMMM yyyy in square brackets at the end of the cite, like so: [1 September 2004] (no punctuation). I, for one, would be far more likely to use it if this was included. I note further that, for compatibility with date preferences, we might rather have the day-month and year portions separated and wikified. --Kgf0 22:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

    That's a good idea. I'll try to add that. I'll also let the date be wikified. COGDEN 23:55, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

    Space in surname

    While editing Maracaibo, I discovered that a citation using a two-word surname (i.e., de Pons) causes the reference and the citation not to link correctly. The in-article reference does the correct thing by converting the space to an underscore (#CITEREFde_Pons1806), but in the reference, the anchor does not contain an underscore (<cite style="font-style:normal" id="CITEREFde Pons1806">). The result is that clicking the in-text reference does not link to the citation. --Animated Cascade talk 10:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

    Newspaper

    What's the correct way to use this template for citing newspaper articles? See, for example, Robert Hayes Gore. I have the date in "Volume", so it gets preceeded by "no.". One of the examples here shows a "Date" field, but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? I'm sure I'm just missing the obvious... JRP 12:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
