How to write reference to website in Harvard style in bibtex

Post by ssnirgudkar »

Hi,
I am struggling to find answer to relatively straight forward question.

I want to give a reference to a website (it does not have an author) in Harvard style in bibtex format.

I tried @misc and @online entries but these did not come out correctly.

Is there a better way in bibtex to specify anonymous websites?

@online{foo_bar,
title = {{Some title}},
url = {Some website},
urldate = {Some date},
}
=> produced foo(year) where I had used \cite{foo_bar}. The references section contained an entry starting with a year. I think this is to be expected because there is no author.

@misc{foo_bar,
title = {{Some title}},
howpublished = {\url{Some website}},
year = {Some date},
note = {Accessed: Some date},
}
=> produced foo(year) where I had used \cite{foo_bar}. The references section contained an entry starting with a year. I think this is to be expected because there is no author.

I am expecting something better than foo(year) at the place of citation.

If it helps, I am using a template from SAGE publishing.
