Lähteellinen

Lähteellinen is a Finnish term that translates to "sourced" or "having a source." In various contexts, it refers to the origin or basis of information, claims, or materials.

In academic and journalistic writing, Lähteellinen emphasizes the importance of citing sources. When information is Lähteellinen, it means that the origin of that information has been clearly identified and can be verified. This practice is crucial for maintaining credibility, avoiding plagiarism, and allowing readers to explore the topic further. A Lähteellinen statement is one that can be traced back to its origin, whether it's a book, article, interview, or other form of documentation.

The concept of Lähteellinen also extends to other areas, such as product development or scientific research. For instance, a Lähteellinen component in a product would mean its manufacturing origin is known. In research, Lähteellinen data implies that the method of data collection and its origin are transparent. The absence of Lähteellinen can lead to questions about authenticity, reliability, and trustworthiness. Therefore, ensuring that information and materials are Lähteellinen is a fundamental principle in many professional and academic fields.
