Common questions

Which version of Harvard is this?

There is no single Harvard style. We use Cite Them Right, which many UK universities follow. Check your module handbook in case your department uses its own variant.

What if there is no author or organisation?

Start with the title of the page in italics, then the year, the URL and the access date.
