Engelskreferenser

Engelskreferenser is a term used in Swedish scholarly writing to describe bibliographic references that are written in English or refer to English-language sources included in a document. The concept covers both the language of the cited works and the practice of citing them according to international citation styles. In Swedish theses and articles, engelskreferenser are commonly found alongside references to Swedish sources, and editors or supervisors may require consistent formatting across all entries, regardless of language.

When presenting engelskreferenser, authors typically follow the citation style adopted by their discipline, with APA, MLA, Chicago, and Vancouver being the most common. Key elements include author(s), year, title, source, volume/issue, page numbers, and identifiers such as DOI or URL. For English-language titles that are not originally in English, the original title is retained with a translation provided in brackets if required by the chosen style.

Examples (illustrative formats):

APA: Smith, J. (2020). An example article about science. Journal of Examples, 10(2), 123–130. https://doi.org/10.0000/example

MLA: Smith, John. "An Example Article About Science." Journal of Examples, vol. 10, no. 2, 2020, pp. 123–130.

Chicago: Smith, John. "An Example Article About Science." Journal of Examples 10, no. 2 (2020): 123–130.

Best practices include verifying author names, ensuring accurate titles, and providing DOIs or stable URLs. Maintain consistency throughout the references section, and consider using reference management tools like Zotero or EndNote to handle engelskreferenser across languages.
