There are many different reference or citation generators out there that claim to create the reference for you. But beware, none of them are perfect and you will still need to proofread the results to ensure they match the format we require.
Firstly make sure you choose the right referencing style. There are several different versions of Harvard you need to decide between. Check to see if they provide a format called Cite them Right - Harvard.
For example some students use MyBib.com to help them create their reference lists. However we see a lot of errors in these reference lists when students ask Skills@Cumbria for assignment support. This can be because they have selected the wrong Harvard version. When using MyBib.com make sure you select the format for 'Cite Them Right 13th edition - Harvard (no "et al.")'
OneSearch will also generate a reference for you - click on the "Citation button" within the 3 dots by each title and choose Cite them Right.
Whatever generator you use make sure it matches the version of Harvard found in Cite them Right. Have our Quick guide to hand to help you check the basics.
Email skills@cumbria.ac.uk if you have any queries.
Another tool that is available to you is RefWorks.
Refworks is an online reference management software that is provided by the University. It helps you to collect and store your references and to create your reference list in the correct format. As with other generators you need to have a good grasp of your referencing style to use it effectively. Download the RefWorks guide to get started.
