Hopefully you have found this guide useful if you are required to prepare reference lists or bibliographies in the Harvard style for you studies or other writing. You should note however, that between difference Universities, and even between different departments in the same University, there may be specific referencing requirements that are not covered here. If you are writing papers for your studies, you should always check with your faculty or librarian in you are unsure of the referencing style.

Remember our Reference Tracker application for Mac OS X can take the pain out of managing and formatting citations and references. You can add publications and internet resources to Reference Tracker with a few clicks, add notes and other details, and with one click create a reference list formatted in the Harvard style. You can download a free 21 day trial of Reference Tracker and we provide discounts to students.

Importing and understanding text in a regular word processor file can be a bit difficult for a computer application, simply due to the vagaries of the English language, so Reference Tracker's importer will give you the opportunity to look over its work and make any corrections if necessary.

To begin the import, open a new or existing Reference Tracker document and select 'File > Import > Formatted Reference List'.

A dialog will appear outlining the requirements for importing a formatted list. After reading it, click continue and you will see an open dialogue where you can select your word processing document containing the reference list.

After you select your file Reference Tracker will ask which formatting style was used in the file. Select the appropriate style from the pop up list.

Reference Tracker's importer will then scan the file and try to extract all the Reference information it finds. You will then see a window where you can see the results and make any corrections if necessary.

The top half of the window shows the contents of the file you imported. Reference Tracker will highlight the first piece of text it believes to be a reference in green. The popup menu in the middle of the window shows the type of publication the importer believes the reference to be (i.e. a book, of journal article, etc). If the importer has chosen the wrong publication type, you can correct it by choosing the correct type form the pop up menu. The bottom half of the window shows the information that the importer has extracted for the reference (such as the title, author, publisher, etc). If any of this information is incorrect, you can correct it by typing into the appropriate field in the bottom half of the window, or by copy/pasting from the file contents in the top half of the window into the bottom.

Once you have confirmed that the Reference information is OK, you can check the next reference in the file by clicking the button with the right-pointing arrow. If the importer has found some text that it believes is a reference, but in fact is not, you can discard it by clicking the "Discard this reference" button. When you have checked all the references are OK, click the "Accept All & Import" button, and the references will be added to your Reference Tracker document.

References from Google Scholar are imported to Reference Tracker using the BibTex (.bib) format. This feature needs to be turned on in your preferences for Google Scholar. So, to begin, visit http://scholar.google.com/ and click on the "Scholar Preferences" link.

At the bottom of the preferences page, there is a section titled "Bibliography Manager". In the section select the option "Show links to import citations into BibTex", then click the "Save Preferences" button.

Now when you search in Google Scholar you will see a link after each result titled "Import into BibTex" These preferences will be saved, so you will not need to repeat the preceding steps when you subsequently want to import search results to Reference Tracker.

Clicking on the link with show you the BibTex reference data for the article or book.

Save this reference by sleeking "File > Save As&" or "File > Save Page As&" in your browser, and save the file to your Desktop. (Note, if your browser wants to append a '.txt' extension to the end of the file name, you should remove it. The file extension should be '.bib')

Now open the Reference Tracker document you wish to import the reference into. With that document open, select "File > Import > BibTex/RIS File&"

Select your saved BibTex file in the file browser and click the "Open" button. The reference from Google Scholar will now appear in your Reference Tracker document.
