Book

There is no distinction between print and ebooks. If the online source includes all the elements seen in the print version, such as date, publisher and place of publication, then the ebook should be referenced in the same way as the print version.

Please note that the edition should only be included if it is not the first edition, or a revised edition (as in the example below).

Speight, J.G. (2019) Global climate change demystified. 2nd edn. Chichester: Wiley. 

Section G1 in CTR Harvard 12th edition.

Illustrated books:

CTR Harvard does not require illustrators of books to be listed except for comics (Section G1.18 in CTR 12th edition). We have adapted our guidance to include graphic novels and children’s books so that the illustrator’s work is fully acknowledged.
