Prithvi, every formatting style is different from one another. The Harvard style is used for citing sources in case of scientific writing. Whereas APA is normally used for social and behavioural science.

Prithvi, Harvard is the most commonly used formatting style. General rules include, title must be written in bold, italics and should be underlined. In-text references are references that are written within the main body of text and refers to a quote/paraphrase. These are much shorter than complete references. In Harvard referencing, in-text citations consists of author(s)’s or editor(s)’s surname, year of publication and page number(s). Example, Mitchel (2018, p. 189).

I will recommend you complete your thesis writing process and then get it formatted by expert editors. I suggest so because, during my research journey, I had complete drained out and was frustrated with the formatting process. It looks easy, but in reality, it isn’t. Instead take help from professionals
