As for the alphabetical system (also known as author-date system), Harvard or APA system of referencing can be used. The advantage of author-date system, is that the name of the author and the year appear in the text, hence this ease reading. The reader only refers to the reference section for the details of the document since the name and the year already exist in the text.
