About The Reference Generator

If you've ever had to write Reports, Essays or Theses, you will have had to reference what you have used in your report. If you mention something that someone else has written, you need to give them credit.

The Harvard Referencing System is one of the preferred layouts for these references. It is a relatively strict way of arranging the bibliographical information.

This tool takes in the raw information - author, title, year of publication - and creates the reference in the correct form.

You can then highlight and copy these into your essays and reports.
