INTRODUCTION
Approaches to learning are referred to as study skills, academic skills, or study techniques.
They are typically necessary for academic achievement, deemed necessary for obtaining
excellent marks, and beneficial for lifelong learning. Mnemonics, which help in the memory of
lists of information, are among them, as are effective reading, concentration methods, and
successful note-taking. Study techniques are being taught at the high school and university
levels, rather than being left to the student and their support network. The purpose of this study is
to learn about and comprehend Harvard referencing and citation. It also tries to improve
academic abilities.
