About Harvard Citation Generator

A citation generator is a tool that arranges source details into the order and punctuation a referencing style requires. This one formats a single book or web page in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, or Harvard from five fields: author, year, title, publisher or site name, and URL. The author is used exactly as typed, a missing year becomes n.d., and the title is italicized. Journal articles, editions, access dates, and in-text citations are not covered.

How to use Harvard Citation Generator

  1. Fill in "Style", "Author", "Year" and "Title", and the other options.
  2. The result appears below and updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result with the copy button, or download it as a file where that is offered.

Questions about Harvard Citation Generator

How should I type multiple authors?

Type them in the author field exactly as the style requires, for example "Smith, J., & Lee, K." for APA. The tool does not reorder names or insert "and", "&", or "et al." for you.

What does n.d. mean in a citation?

It stands for "no date" and is used when a source shows no publication year. The generator inserts n.d. automatically when the year field is left empty.
