In this section you find examples of common types of sources and how to cite them. If the type of source you want to cite can’t be found here, implement a closely related type of source.
Today a large portion of sources are electronic and it’s not always easy to determine what type the source is. The differences between different types of documents can be unclear. To be able to cite them correctly you need to identify the types of sources you have used. Contact the library if problems with this arise.
