General ⇒ Harvard Referencing in Latex

[xirokx]

thanks for taking the time to reply

its not as per my required output?

and the biblography does not show only the intext-citation.

Sorry, i am working on quite a few user issues per day, not only here. Can you elaborate?

[xirokx]

Thanks for your reply and your support

Its nearly there but not quite

Take a look at both screen shots from which you can notice the differences:

required output: http://i.imgur.com/30PgvEZ.jpg
current output: http://i.imgur.com/wXrglSf.jpg

1) The in-text citation is incorrect as I need parenthesis around the author and date

2) For the biblography
- author surname should appear first followed by author initial for each reference
- otherwise the journal and book is 100% spot on
- for the website I need the word [online] in there and instead of using "visited" can we change it to accessed?

Can someone kindly help resolve these minor imperfections?

Please help

Thank you

This should be close.

Note that as i am also not that familiar with style writing (and this is what you are asking for, it is not just generating a bibliography) it has taken me at least an hour to get the results that seem to e closer to what you want.
