[edit] Citation examples

These examples of citation within the text are based on related citation template Template:Harvard citation, which automatically creates a one-directional link to the first matching Harvard reference on the same page:

Markup in main text:

  • {{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)

Results:

[edit] 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:Cite book and Template:Cite journal.

[edit] 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 (May 1, 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)

So that style is consistant across all articles which use Harvard referencing. If any style changes are decided in the future, they are easy to implement. --Oldak Quill 23:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

This bug seems to either have been fixed or just vanished. I can't reproduce it. --Ligulem 07:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

I've implemented the Date field. If used, it overrides the Year field for display purposes (althouth Year is still required, for referencing consistency). COGDEN 20:38, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edited book

Is there any way to indicate that the first two "authors" of an edited book are the editors, as is done in APA style (e.g.: Robertson, Lynn C., Sagiv, Noam, eds., 2005. Synesthesia: Perspectives from Cognitive Neuroscience. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press.) Edhubbard 09:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Space between initials and comma with authorlink

When I try to use the author link for the first author in a multiauthor paper, there seems to be an extra space between the period and the comma after the author's name. See [1]. This doesn't happen when there are only two authors, nor does it happen for a multiauthor publication that doesn't have an author link. I checked and I couldn't seem to find any extra spaces in the initials or in the author link. Is there something that I am doing wrong? Edhubbard 13:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing and referencing ISO and similar standards; miscellanous issues

In making some recent edits to the article Exposure value, I encountered several issues when attempting to use the Harvard referencing templates.

  1. {{Harv}} and {{Harvnb}} allow a citation such as Adams (1981) or (Adams 1981, p. 39) but there seems to be to graceful way to handle a citation such as Adams (1981, p. 39). 
    {{Harvard reference
|Surname=Adams
|Given=Ansel
|Year=1981
|Title=The Negative
|Place=Boston
|Publisher=New York Graphic Society
|ISBN=0821211315
}}
  2. If both a chapter and a url are provided, the link gets put in the chapter; this doesn't seem right (few publishers sell individual chapters ...). Example:
  3. There seems to be no graceful way to cite an ISO or similar standard (for example, ISO 2720:1974). The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed;) would cite (ISO 1974) or ISO (1974), and list
    • ISO. See International Organization for Standardization
    • International Organization for Standardization. 1974. General Purpose Photographic Exposure Meters (Photoelectric Type)—Guide to Product Specification. International Standard ISO 2720. International Organization for Standardization.
    The Harvard templates would seem to offer only citing (International Organization for Standardization 1974) or International Organization for Standardization (1974), and listing This gets a bit unwieldy if there are many citations. Alternatively, one could cite (ISO 1974) or ISO (1974), and list An issue of appearance (but possibly also of substance) is that standards designations (e.g., ISO 2720:1974) usually are set in upright rather than oblique type in the full references. Embedding a style in the template entry deals with the appearance, but not necessarily in the most elegant manner; an additional "Designation" or similarly titled parameter might be indicated. By itself, of course, this would not address the difficulty in making a citation and having it linked to the full reference.

    I ended up manually embedding links to use the form in which these standards commonly are handled in the photographic literature, citing ISO 2720:1974, and listing

    • ISO 2720:1974. General Purpose Photographic Exposure Meters (Photoelectric Type)—Guide to Product Specification. International Organization for Standardization.
    The ISO standards themselves seem to suggest the last form of citation, and the Wikipedia articles on ISO standards (e.g., ISO 31) seem to use a similar format.

Any suggestions? JeffConrad 00:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
