A Few Differences Between the Harvard System and the APA System   Frequently used in Translation Studies, the Harvard Referencing System is like the APA Referencing system in that both are Name and Date systems.

Harvard Reference Style

Text citations All references in the text and notes must be specified by the authors’ last names and date of publication together with page numbers if given.
