--- Comment #10 from DuncanHill <[email protected]> 2008-12-21 02:27:36 UTC --- The trouble with Harvard refs is that they are (particularly when an article has a large number of references) difficult for the reader to follow. Also, when clicking on a ref number in a text, one is then taken to a reference which does not actually tell you what it is - one has to scroll around to find the list of works, and then read through that to find the surname that relates to the reference.
