source reference
The naming of the origin of a piece of information, an image, or a quotation, for example in an academic paper or an article. It makes it possible to verify the information used.
Für jede Behauptung in deiner Abschlussarbeit musst du eine exakte Quellenangabe machen.
For every claim in your thesis, you must provide an exact source reference.
This word is made up of 'die Quelle' (source) and 'die Angabe' (statement/information). So it is literally an 'Angabe über die Quelle' (information about the source) of a piece of information.
Eine korrekte Quellenangabe ist in der Wissenschaft unerlässlich.
A correct source reference is essential in academia.
Common verbs in this context are 'eine Quellenangabe machen' (to provide a source reference), 'prüfen' (to check), or 'hinzufügen' (to add). The phrase 'ohne Quellenangabe' (without a source reference) is also very common.
Der Professor hat kritisiert, dass viele Quellenangaben fehlen.
The professor criticized the fact that many source references were missing.
The term 'Quellenangabe' (source reference) is used mainly in academic, scientific, and journalistic contexts to ensure that information can be traced and verified.
Im Journalismus ist die Prüfung der Quellenangaben ein wichtiger Teil der Arbeit.
In journalism, checking source references is an important part of the work.
quote
'das Zitat' and 'die Quellenangabe' often go together, but they do not mean the same thing. A 'Zitat' is the sentence or section taken over word for word. The 'Quellenangabe' says where this quote or a piece of information comes from, for example which book or which website. Learners may confuse the words because with a quote, you almost always also need a source reference. Remember: the quote is the text itself; the source reference is the origin of the text.
Die Lehrerin verlangt bei jedem Bild eine genaue Quellenangabe.
The teacher requires an exact source reference for every image.
Im Text steht ein Zitat aus einem Interview mit der Autorin.
The text contains a quote from an interview with the author.
