Source management

How do you make source references and bibliographies in your assignments? Get good advice and methods for structuring your sources.

We have collected the issues you need to pay attention to, when managing sources: Plagiarism, source critisism, the Harvard-standard, reference management tools and personal data.

When you write assignments/bachelor project/literature study etc., you include many sources in the form of theories, scientific articles, quotes, concepts, etc. You must refer to all your sources so that you can find the original information via the references/bibliography.

Source references appear in two ways in your assignment: in the text as a reference and in the bibliography. There are services (eg. Zotero) that can help you create both types of referrals.
