You can reference these articles like a chapter in an edited book.  As this book is only available online it would also be useful to give your reader a URL and accessed date.

Include the following elements in your reference:

  • The author of the article
  • The last date the article was updated
  • The title of the article in single inverted commas
  • in StatPearls.  Treasure Island, (FL): StatPearls 
  • Available at URL (Accessed: day month year)

For example:

Tyrrell, P. et al. (2023) ‘Kubler-Ross stages of dying and subsequent models of grief’, in StatPearls. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507885/ (Accessed: 3 January 2024).

Narrative citation: Tyrrell et al. (2023)

Parenthetical citation: (Tyrrell et al., 2023)

  3. How do you reference a Statpearls book as an inline citation in the Harvard referencing style?

  4. How would you cite in text as most Statpearls articles don't have a PDF to view to see page numbers. According to Harvard referencing, you need to add a page number in your in text citation for books.

  5. Thank you for your query. Your inline citation, or in-text citation, should be the author(s) of the article you are referencing and the date that the article was last updated.

  6. Hi Yen. Thanks for your question. You are right. The University of Worcester guidance on Harvard referencing states that you should include a page number, where possible, when you use a direct quote or when are are paraphrasing rather than summarising. In the case of StatPearls articles, rather than providing a page number give the URL for the precise article you wish to reference as shown in the example above. Doing this will pinpoint the information you used for your reader.

Kubler-ross stages of dying and subsequent models of grief. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2024. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507885/

  11. What about the volume number and the number of pages
    by Shaza Mohammed on Sep 24, 2024
  12. Hi Shaza, Thanks for your query. As the StatPearls ebook doesn't have multiple volumes or give a page range we have, instead, used the URL to pinpoint the information referred to.
