+# UNSW Harvard Reference Generator
+
+A desktop application built with PySide6 for converting BibTeX entries from Google Scholar to UNSW Harvard reference style.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Clean UI**: Modern interface following UNSW branding guidelines
+- **BibTeX Input**: Paste BibTeX entries from Google Scholar
+- **Harvard Output**: View formatted UNSW Harvard references
+- **Copy Functionality**: Quick copy to clipboard
+- **Responsive Design**: Centered window with minimum size constraints
+
+## Installation
+
+1. **Clone the repository**:
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd UNSWHarvardReferenceFormatGeneration
+   ```
+
+2. **Activate the virtual environment**:
+   ```bash
+   # Windows
+   .venv\Scripts\activate
+
+   # macOS/Linux
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+3. **Install dependencies**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r UI/requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Run the application**:
+   ```bash
+   # Windows
+   .venv\Scripts\python UI\main.py
+
+   # macOS/Linux
+   .venv/bin/python UI/main.py
+   ```
+
+2. **Paste BibTeX content** into the left text area
+
+3. **Click "Convert"** (conversion logic coming soon)
+
+4. **Copy the generated Harvard reference** using the Copy button
+
+## UI Layout
+
+- **Left Panel**: BibTeX input area with placeholder text
+- **Right Panel**: Read-only Harvard reference output with Copy button
+- **Bottom Center**: Prominent Convert button
+- **Status Bar**: Feedback messages
+
+## Branding
+
+Uses official UNSW colors:
+- Primary: UNSW Blue (#00338D)
+- Secondary: UNSW Gold (#FFB81C)
+- Light Blue: #E6EDF6 (for read-only areas)
+
+## Technical Stack
+
+- **Python 3.12+**
+- **PySide6** - Qt UI framework
+- **Qt Designer** - UI layout design
+
+## Development
+
+To modify the UI:
+1. Edit `UI/main.ui` using Qt Designer
+2. Regenerate Python code: `pyside6-uic UI/main.ui -o UI/myui.py`
+3. Update functionality in `UI/main.py`
