Harvard Style

daniele87
Hi, my Uni, wants the Bibliography in Harvard Style. Although I have noticed that Zotero does not insert the access date of the URL or website. Is there a way to do it? as it is a requirment from my Uni.
Thank you

    "Harvard" isn't actually a citation style -- it's any style that uses author and year in the text.
    Zotero has over hundred styles with "Harvard" in the name: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=Harvard
    and many hundred that are technically Harvard styles:
    https://www.zotero.org/styles?format=author-date&dependent=0

    I assume you'll be able to find something among those that includes access dates the way your school wants. Probably some of the ones by UK universities are good places to start.

    Which style does Harvard itself use?
  • adamsmith
    US universities don't use custom styles. Harvard students will be asked to use standard disciplinary styles: APA, MLA, IEEE, Vancouver, and Chicago cover probably ~98% of requirements; in many cases, faculty will (appropriately) not care at all as long as the citation style is somewhat coherent.
    Same answer for virtually every other US university, btw. And the label "Harvard Style" is very, very rarely used in the US; it's mostly a UK (and commonwealth countries) label.
