refererade

Refererade is the past tense form of the Swedish verb referera, meaning to reference or to cite sources, or to mention something in relation to other material. It is used to indicate that information comes from a specific source or to point to prior work in a discussion. The present tense is refererar, and the supine is refererat; refererade is a finite past tense form.

In academic and journalistic contexts, referera is used to describe the act of citing sources. A sentence example is: "Forskaren refererade till flera tidigare studier." In Swedish writing, referenser denotes the sources that are cited, and the list of sources is a referenslista. The phrase "refererade källor" can be used to denote "the cited sources" or "the sources referenced in the text."

Etymology: the verb referera is a loanword derived from Latin referre (to bring back, mention) via French and other Romance languages, and has become standard in Swedish for citation and reference work.
