Cite Them Right Harvard is the most commonly used referencing style at Newcastle University.  

The 'Harvard' style in EndNote is distinctly different from the 'Cite Them Right - Harvard' style available in EndNote for you to use for your assignments.  

Harvard essentially just means an author/date style, but there are various permutations of it. The most obvious difference is that the 'Harvard' style in EndNote puts author names in capitals. The 'Cite Them Right - Harvard' style does not. The 'Cite Them Right - Harvard' style is based on the Harvard style as used in Cite Them Right.

To select 'Cite Them Right - Harvard' in Endnote:

Login to a campus PC, or on your own computer, and open EndNote. Go to the drop-down menu and click on 'Select Another Style'.

Type Harvard in the Quick Search box and hit the return key. You will see 'Cite Them Right-Harvard' appear as an option in the list. Select it and click on Choose. It will now appear as your chosen style in EndNote and as an option available to you in Word.

If you have started writing documents and inserting references from EndNote in the straight Harvard style you can reformat them in the 'Cite Them Right-Harvard' style by opening the documents and choosing 'Cite Them Right-Harvard' from the drop-down list of styles in the EndNote tab.

If you have purchased your own copy of EndNote for use on your PC or laptop and need to download the Cite Them Right - Harvard style:

  1. Click on the style below to download the file.  
  2. Browse to the location where you downloaded the style. Right-click on the style file and select copy.
  3. Browse to your EndNote Styles folder. This will typically be in the following location:
    1.  C:\Program Files\EndNote #\Styles (Where # is the version number for EndNote)
  4. Right-click in this folder and choose 'Paste'. Your style should now be installed in the EndNote program.

Note: if you are unable to save the style to the folder in C: (e.g. if you need Admin rights to do so), you can create an EndNote Styles Folder in another suitable location and point EndNote to this new folder instead. To do this: In your EndNote library Edit > Preferences > then in the grey box select Folder locations and your Style Folder location.

Please also note: the referencing style you will need to use varies depending on your subject area.  Your programme and module handbooks should state which style to use for your subject, and if you're still unsure, check with your tutor or supervisor.
