[Tex/LaTex] How to use HARVARD STYLE bibliography

bibliographiesbibtexharvard-style

I've just started using LaTeX in my assignments, and I've got some questions about the bibliography.

This are the commands I am using at the moment:

\bibliographystyle{amsplain}
\bibliography{thesisref}

I need to arrange my bibliography in alphabet order using the Harvard Referencing Style, and I'd be really grateful if you could show me how to do this in LaTeX.

One other issue is "multi-citation". For example, Pennycook A (2010),"Writes the chapter", in Coupland N(ed), "the book name", "publisher", "year"," page number"
How can I show it properly in LaTeX bibliography?

I've tried to find related questions, but they still didn't fix my problems.
Thank you for your replies in advanced. Deeply appreciated!

There is quite a wealth of guidance on using Harvard style here. Try this answer and this one. If you have specific problems, try asking a more specific question.

On multiple citations, the entry type you want is inbook, probably. How citations and bibliography are formatted will depend on the style.

Ad 1: \renewcommand*{\bibinitdelim}{} works for me. EDIT: Note that \bibinitdelim requires Biber instead of BibTeX. As this command was added in biblatex 1.3, there's a chance that it works with your distribution (try the backend=biber option); nevertheless consider to upgrade to the current versions of biblatex and Biber.

Ad 2: Use the package option useprefix=true.

Ad 3: \usepackage{xpatch}\xapptobibmacro{date+extrayear}{\nopunct}{}{}.

Ad 4: Use the addendum instead of the note field. EDIT: In the case at hand, follow moewe's advice and use the url and urldate fields.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\usepackage[
firstinits=true, % render first and middle names as initials
useprefix=true,
maxcitenames=3,
maxbibnames=99,
style=authoryear,
dashed=false, % re-print recurring author names in bibliography
natbib=true,
url=false
]{biblatex}

\renewcommand*{\bibinitdelim}{}

\usepackage{xpatch}
\xapptobibmacro{date+extrayear}{\nopunct}{}{}

% Use single quotes around titles:
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\DeclareNameAlias{author}{last-first}
\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefirst}[1]{{\let~\,#1}} % insert thin spaces between author initials
\renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addcomma\addspace} % insert a comma between author and year in-text citations
\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\addspace} % comma as separator in bibliography, not full stop
\setlength\bibitemsep{1.5\itemsep} % increase spacing between entries in bibliography
\renewbibmacro{in:}{} % remove 'in:' preceding article title

% Place volume number within parentheses:
\renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{
    \printfield{volume}
    \setunit*{\addnbspace}% NEW (optional); there's also \addnbthinspace
    \printfield{number}
    \setunit{\addcomma\space}
    \printfield{eid}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\mkbibparens{#1}}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@Article{Belshe_2010a,
  Title = {{{E}fficacy of live attenuated influenza vaccine in children against influenza {B} viruses by lineage and antigenic similarity}},
  Author = {Belshe, R. B. and Coelingh, K. and Ambrose, C. S. and Woo, J. C. and Wu, X.},
  Journal = {Vaccine},
  Year = {2010},
  Month = {Feb},
  Addendum = {[Online]. Available at: \url{example.com} (Accessed: 10 January 2013)},
  Number = {9},
  Pages = {2149--2156},
  Volume = {28},
}

@Article{de-Silva_2012,
  Title = {{{A} comprehensive analysis of reassortment in influenza {A} virus}},
  Author = {de Silva, U. C. and Tanaka, H. and Nakamura, S. and Goto, N. and Yasunaga, T.},
  Journal = {Biol Open},
  Year = {2012},
  Month = {Apr},
  Number = {4},
  Pages = {385--390},
  Volume = {1},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\nocite{*} % print all citations

\begin{document}
    \printbibliography[title=References]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] LyX: Harvard Referencing using Natbib

If you're writing the bibliography yourself, then you need to add a label for each item. Right click the grey box in the reference list where the citation key is written - highlighted by the red ellipse in the screenshot below - and choose Settings (the only option).

enter image description here

In the Label field write authorname(year) without a space before the parenthesis, e.g. Author(2012). Quoting the natbib manual:

oneself, such that it conforms to natbib.

This syntax looks as follows:
\bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{jon90}...
or alternatively
\bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)Jones, Baker, and Williams]{jon90}...
The text in square brackets contains the pieces of citation texts, the short author list, Jones et al., the year 1990, and the optional long author list Jones, Baker and Williams. If the long list is missing, the short list will be used instead. The parentheses around the year are not part of the text, but merely delimit the year from the author lists. Round parentheses must always be used, even if square brackets are wanted for the citations. And there must be no space before or after the year parentheses, else it will become part of the author list.
