Dears I have a query about the best style in references you prefer when writing a paper in Physical education field, Harvard or APA style?
Dear Mr. Hayder Subhi Ibrahim,
In my point of view, it all depends on the institution and the magazine for which it intends to write. In USA, science like as adult education, pedagogy, and psychology education papers most of them use American Psychology Associate (APA) what the abbreviation tells us.
I hope I have been of some help,
Best

Please note that Harvard referencing system, also called the Author-Date system or the Name-Year system (N-Y system), is a generic term for any style of citation and referencing having author-date references in the text. All the three leading documentation style guides, CSE Style Manual (CSE, 2018), APA Style Manual (APA, 2013), and Chicago Style Manual (UChicago, 2017), recommend Harvard system of referencing with some minor variations. In fact, APA style recommends only one referencing style, that is Harvard. See examples of Harvard according to the leading style manuals.
