Harvard style: problem

I have a problem with identifying (or formatting) the Harvard style I need. Here are the requirements from my university:

The ‘Harvard’ system of placing short references in the text (e.g. Smith 2000: 100) and listing full references in the bibliography should be followed. References should be kept to a minimum.
References should not be put in footnotes alone but only if they are integral to the text of the footnote.
References should be listed at the end of the text in alphabetical order of author’s surname or equivalent identifier.
Titles should be in italics in the case of self-standing published items (books, journal titles), in ordinary type without quote marks in the case of articles in journals and edited volumes and unpublished theses.
Titles should not have initial capital letters for words, except for the first word of a title (not a sub-title if preceded by a colon) and where they would be required in normal text.
Please include DOI reference numbers where they exist.
For references to digital sources - a) give your last date of access, b) please enter the source into theperma.cc digital archive and quote the Perma.cc URL.

If the existing Harvard styles do not match the requirement, what are the ways to format it? As I am totally new to Z, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!
  • Best I can offer you is to use the visual editor:

    unfortunately we can't help with University-specific Harvard versions. There are just too many.
  • adamsmith, thank you from a true computer phobe. It turned out that 'Harvard - Oxford Brookes University - Faculty of Health & Life Science' style was the best fit for my case.

    Thank you!
