lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä

Lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä is a Finnish term that refers to a citation or referencing system for academic and professional work. The term "lähde" translates to "source" and "luettelointijärjestelmä" means "listing system".

In the context of academic writing, a lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä refers to a standardized system of citation and referencing that is used to credit the sources that have been used in a particular piece of work. This system involves creating a list of sources that have been cited in the work, along with a corresponding reference list in the text.

The primary purpose of a lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä is to provide transparency and accountability in academic and professional work. By clearly referencing the sources that have been used, authors demonstrate their ability to locate and interpret relevant information, and to properly acknowledge the intellectual property of others.

In Finland, the use of lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä is actively promoted in schools and universities, and is often required in academic writing and research projects. The system is also widely used in professional contexts, where proper citation and referencing are essential for maintaining the integrity and credibility of research and publications.

The lähdeluettelointijärjestelmä is often based on the APA (American Psychological Association) or Harvard citation style, and involves the use of superscript numbers or corresponding reference footnotes to identify and link citations to the corresponding source in the reference list.
