"Harvard referencing" is an umbrella term for any referencing style that uses the author's name and year of publication within the text to indicate where you have inserted a source and a bibliography at the end of the document. It is similar to the APA style although there are some minor differences in the content and punctuation of the full citation. There are different guides for the Harvard style. Ask your instructor for which guide to use.
