Citing Sources

Regulations:

If you want to cite some information, the basic rules can be found in the Czech standard ISO 690:2022 Information and documentation — Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources. The full text of the standard can be accessed:

• For reading on selected computers in the main library and in the branch library within the ČSN Online database,
• for consultation in the main library (see this link).

Each faculty may have additional specific requirements, so be sure to check your faculty's thesis guidelines.
