Comments

  • All authors' names are to be included in the reference list. The names are written in the same order as in the cited source.
  • If the article has a DOI it is included at the end of the reference entry. If it doesn't have a DOI but you have a URL where the article is available to the reader you can include it instead. Including a URL/DOI is rarely mandatory in Harvard styles, but it may help the reader locate the source more easily.

Articles without page numbers

Some articles don't have page numbers but use article numbers instead. In these cases you can write "Article" followed by the article number in the reference list entry.
