Litteratur
Depends on the type of project. However, all literature used to solve the problem must be listed as references. References are lists of the books, articles, manuals etc. that are referred to in the report. It is important that it is made clear in the report which parts are your contributions and which parts have been taken from other sources. If you reproduce text from e.g. an article the reader must be informed hereof. Wordings such as "this paragraph has to a great extent been taken from", "this paragraph was inspired by" can be used to give the best possible description of the actual situation. If you quote sentences, the source must be stated clearly. Make a note of sources as you go along. It will often be difficult to find them afterwards. Each reference must include the following three elements:
1. The name of the writer
2. The title of the book/article/etc.
3. Infomation about the publisher.
