Harvard citation of original journals but accessed online? I want to cite an idea found in a journal accessed via the web and uploaded as a PDF file (or whatever mean). When I want to reference it at the end of my paper, should I cite it as if I've read the actual HARD copy of the journal article or just treat it as an electronic source and therefore, additionally insert the usual "Available from: url, viewed on..." stuff?
If you read and refer to the final version of the paper, cite it as if you had read the hard copy:


I'd suspect the vast majority of journal articles only ever gets read in their digital form by people who cite them.
A journal isn't less of a journal just because it appears as a digital edition.
