Template:Harvard citations

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Shortcut

• {{harvs}}

Purpose

The "Harvard citations" template is for producing more complicated Harvard citations, when one wishes to link several publications by the same author, or add a link to the author's name. For most simple Harvard citations the templates {{harv}}, {{harvtxt}}, and {{harvnb}} are easier to use.

The template name "Harvard citations" can be abbreviated as "harvs".

Note that the use (or even non-use) of these templates is an element of citation "style", and adding or removing them in articles with an established style should be consistent with that style. See WP:CITEVAR.

Also note that inline use of these templates, i.e. use of {{harvs}} without <ref>...</ref> tags around it, was deprecated in September 2020.

Parameters (all optional)

Most of the parameters, in particular those for authors, editors, and year, should be the same as for the corresponding citation template. (If these are missing the template will try to guess them by looking for other parameters such as "date", "author" and so on.) In fact one can produce this template just by changing the name "citation" in the corresponding citation template to "harvard citations" and keeping all parameters the same.

Examples

An example with authorlinks:

A reference is {{harvard citations |first=F. J. |last=Murray |author1-link=F. J. Murray |first2=J. |last2=von Neumann |author2-link=John von Neumann |year=1936 |loc1=p. 118 }}.

A reference is (F. J. Murray & J. von Neumann 1936, p. 118).

An example with txt

The theory was developed by {{harvard citations |txt |first=F. J. |last=Murray |author1-link=F. J. Murray |first2=J. |last2=von Neumann |year=1936 |year2=1937 |year3=1943 }}.

The theory was developed by F. J. Murray and J. von Neumann (1936, 1937, 1943).

An example using nb to list 2 sets of authors, using citationpage to link to the von Neumann algebra page:

The theory was developed in a series of papers ({{harvard citations |nb=yes |citationpage=von Neumann algebra |first=F. J. |last=Murray |author1-link=F. J. Murray |first2=J. |last2=von Neumann |year=1936 |year2=1937 |year3=1943 }}, {{harvard citations |nb |citationpage=von Neumann algebra |first=J. |last=von Neumann |year1=1938 |year2=1940 |year3=1943 |year4=1949 }}).

The theory was developed in a series of papers (F. J. Murray & J. von Neumann 1936, 1937, 1943, J. von Neumann 1938, 1940, 1943, 1949).
