DeadlineDue.com, a free Web-based tool by Rad Inks, has already made finishing an academic paper easier than ever by allowing users to retrieve a Harvard reference citation simply by entering the title or ISBN number of a book. Today, the site is expanding to allow users to enter a URL and receive a Harvard reference citation for any Web site.
When creating academic works such as research papers and theses, writers must properly credit the source of words or ideas they have drawn from other reports or papers. One method of doing so is the widely used Harvard Referencing System, also known as the author-date system. But creating a complete, accurate and properly formatted Harvard reference list has traditionally been a time-consuming process. To make matters worse students often leave this for last.
“Harvard reference citations are often error-prone when cited manually. With the launch of DeadlineDue.com’s Harvard reference citation for Web sites, students, researchers and teachers can easily reference works cited without error,” says the Chief Software Architect at Rad Inks.
DeadlineDue.com, launched earlier this year, makes this process fast, easy and error-proof. The Web site’s interface is clean and uncomplicated – users simply enter in the title or ISBN number of a book and the site generates a fully formed Harvard reference that may be copied and pasted into any document. In the event that a query produces multiple results, such as different editions of a book, DeadlineDue.com will display all found entries. From now onwards, users may enter a web page’s URL and have a harvard reference generated for it.
