Quoting sources

The sources you use in your text must be quoted correctly. At the HU, sources must be quoted according to APA guidelines.

APA referencing

In your research and with every paper you write for your bachelor’s or master’s degree, you consult information sources.
In your text you have to refer correctly to the sources you use to support your findings.

As an aid in correct citation and paraphrasing, the American Psychological Association published rules on how references should be made. Unless you are informed to use an other reference style,  bachelor’s and master’s at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences use  APA guidelines (7th edition).

Tools explaining APA guidelines (7th edition) can be found at Project APA7 – YouTube and APA guidelines – APA guidelines (7th) – Hanze Library Guides at Hanze University of Applied Sciences-Hanzehogeschool

Other styles

In case you are instructed to use another citations style and you need help, you can contact the information specialist of your institution.

Other citation styles:

– ACS (American Chemical Society)
– Vancouver
– Leidraad voor juridische auteurs
– MLA (Modern Language Association of America)
– IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
