常见错误

错误:

(Okafor, 2021) - using comma

正确:

(Okafor 2021) - use space

原因: Harvard uses space between author and year.

错误:

Okafor, A. (2021). Nanoparticle synthesis... [Doctoral dissertation, University of Cambridge].

正确:

Okafor, Amara (2021) Nanoparticle synthesis and applications in drug delivery. PhD thesis. University of Cambridge.

原因: Use full first name, (Year) format, and degree designation (not bracketed).

错误:

Okafor, Amara. Nanoparticles. University of Cambridge PhD. 2021.

正确:

Okafor, Amara (2021) Nanoparticle synthesis and applications in drug delivery. PhD thesis. University of Cambridge.

原因: Use (Year) format and full thesis title. Degree designation comes before university.

常见问题

Should I include the university location?

Include just the university name. Add country only if disambiguation is needed (e.g., University of Toronto, Canada).

Can I cite an unpublished thesis?

Yes, same format. The designation 'unpublished' is implied.

How specific should the degree type be?

Use PhD thesis, Master's thesis, or the specific degree (M.Sc., M.A., etc.).
