General rules

Within the Harvard referencing system, a conference paper published in conference proceedings is treated as a chapter of an edited book, due to which the templates for bibliographic references are almost the same as for a book chapter.

In this case, the title of the conference proceedings is considered as the general book title; the difference from a book chapter is that the title of the proceedings also includes the date and place of the conference.

Reference template:

Author(s), (year). Paper title. In: Editor(s), ed(s). Conference title, conference date, Conference place. City of publication: Publisher. p(p). page(s).

For a conference abstract available online, use the following reference template:

Author(s), (year). Paper title. In: Editor(s), ed(s). Conference title, conference date, Conference place [online]. City of publication: Publisher. p(p). page(s). [Viewed date viewed]. Available from: doi: DOI

If the publication does not have a DOI and is located at an ordinary URL address, modify the corresponding reference element as follows:

Available from: URL
