How do I cite a book which has 2 authors with the same surname, in Harvard?
When citing sources written by authors with the same surname, include the authors’ initials in in-text citations.
For example:
Different research reported the same effects occurring, regardless whether it was in lakes (Nguyen, D 2009, p. 3) or rivers (Nguyen, L 2009, p. 145).
D Nguyen (2009) and L Nguyen (2009) both reported the same effects occurring in lakes and rivers.
