(2) References in the text of the dissertation Whenever the author of the dissertation uses a part of text or borrows ideas from another author, a reference to the respective work is due at the particular place. In-text references are made in one of two ways: using the “first element and date” method, or using footnotes. (2.1) If the former method is used, the text will include identification under which the document can be found in the bibliography section – typically the name of the author(s) followed by the year of publication, both enclosed in round brackets. If another author’s text is directly quoted it is put in quotation marks, and the reference must also include the respective page. If the dissertation references more than one work of the same author published in the same year, a letter of the alphabet in lowercase is appended to the year, for example: (Smejkal, 2003a). Sample direct quotation: An organizational culture is defined as “a pattern of shared fundamental beliefs that the group has adopted while dealing with problems of external adaptation and internal integration, and that proved helpful enough to be now considered valid and passed on to new members of the organization as a way of perception, thinking and feeling that is correct in relation to these problems” (Schein, 1992, p. 12). Sample indirect quotation of other authors’ ideas: In terms of the course and character of the change, two fundamental types of cultural change are identified: revolutionary and evolutionary (Bates, 1994; Brown, 1995; Sackmann, 2002a; Alvesson and Sveningsson, 2008, etc.). (2.2) When referencing by footnotes the author of the dissertation uses footnote numbers written in superscript to refer to the sources. The citation itself is given in the footnote at the bottom of the page that contains the numbered reference. Footnotes are numbered continuously throughout the text of the dissertation. If references to a particular source are repeated, the identification in the footnote can be shortened; the recommended form is Surname: The first words of the title, page number. If the same source is referenced again in the immediately following footnote, it is enough to use the word “Ibid.” followed by the respective page number (unless it is identical as well). Sample footnote reference: [1] TENOPIR, C. Electronic access to periodicals. Library Journal, 1993, vol. 118, iss. 4, p. 54–55. ISSN 0363-0277. Sample repeated reference: ^5 TENOPIR, C., ref. 1, p. 29. Section 7 Using the ČSN standard (1) Unless this Directive specifies otherwise, citations used in theses and dissertations submitted at the Faculty of Economics and Administration comply with the ČSN ISO 690 standard, “Information and documentation – Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources” (effective from 1/4/2011).
