Harvard

When you use Harvard as your referencing style, the full reference to each source that you cite in your work should be included in a References section. The information included varies depending on the type of source, but usually includes:

• Who produced or created the source.
• When it was published or created (year).
• What it is called – the title.
• Where it was published, produced, accessed

However, sometimes you will find that the source you are referencing is missing some details which should be included in your Reference list. This page gives you guidelines and examples on what to do when sources are missing information.

If the source you are referencing is missing an author, use the source's title instead of the author's name in your in-text citation. 

In your Reference list, use the source's title in place of the author's name. 

The rest of the reference should follow the usual style for the type of source you are citing.  

In-text citation:

(Medicine in old age, 1985, p.74)

Reference list:

Medicine in old age (1985). 2nd end. London: British Medical Association.

If the source you are referencing is missing a year of publication, use the words 'no date' instead of a year in your in-text citation. 

In your Reference list, use the words 'no date' in place of the year of publication. 

The rest of the reference should follow the usual style for the type of source you are citing.  

In-text citation:

(d'Arbois de Jubainville, no date)

Reference List:

d'arbois de Jubainville, H. (no date). Celtes et Germains, étude grammaticale. Paris: Impr.nationale.

If the source you are referencing is missing a publisher or place of publication, use the words '[no publisher]' or '[no place]' in your Reference list.

You only need to include [no publisher] or [no place] if you are citing a source which includes publication information in its full reference. For example, journal articles need to be referenced with publication information, but personal communications do not. 

The rest of the reference should follow the usual style for the type of source you are citing. 

With any in-text citations, you must include a page number/s when you cite a source and are either directly quoting or paraphrasing the source. 

Some sources, such as blogs, do not have page numbers, so you do not need to include them. 

If you are citing a source which you would usually expect to include page numbers, such as a book, and they are missing, use the words '[no pagination]' in your in-text citation in place of 'p.' or 'pp.'
