Attachment no.5 Citation methods in the text of the FT elaborated by the student of the SU SBA
Basic principles:
All that is stated in the References in the wording of full bibliographic citations, must be
continuously cited in the text, and the student uses the abbreviated citation method (the Harvard
citation system), i.e. the surname of the author or authors (year of publication, in the case of
direct or indirect citations the page or the range of pages, is stated).
Examples:
Novák (2010)
Novák (2010, p. 125)
Novák (2010, pp. 125-127)
The taken text can be cited in the following forms:
a) Direct citation - the text is taken literally from the original work and is in quotation marks.
b) Indirect citation (paraphrase) - the text is interpreted from the original work in own words,
without changing the meaning of the text.
c) Citation for the entire work - only given if the author refers to the whole original work.
Direct citation
In the case of direct citation, when the text is taken literally, the reference to the work includes the
following:
 author's surname
 year of publication
 the page or range of pages from which the text was taken
 the quoted text itself is in italics and is enclosed in quotation marks.
If the surname of the creator of the cited information source naturally becomes part of the text,
then the reference is given as follows:
The surname of the author or authors (year of publication, page or range of pages)
If the reference to the surname of the author of the cited literature is not a natural part of the text,
then the reference to the cited source is given in round brackets after the quoted text in this form:
(Surname of the author or authors, year of publication, page or range of pages)
Examples:
Novák (2010, p. 26) states that "the main drivers of the financial crisis were the US real estate price
bubble, the lack of regulation of financial market supervision and the failure of credit rating agencies."
According to Pokorný and Polák (2007, p. 29), "the most significant risk for the Chinese economy for
the next decade is the possibility of a sharp rise in inflation."
"The economic recession is usually accompanied by a decline in economic performance and an increase
in the unemployment rate." (Novotný 2009, p. 297).
Indirect citation
In the case of indirect citation or paraphrase, where the text of the original work is interpreted in
own words, but without changing the meaning of the text, the reference to the work contains the
following particulars:
 author’s surname
 year of publication
 page or the range of pages from which the text was taken
If the surname of the creator of the cited information source naturally becomes part of the text,
then the reference is made in this form:
Surname of the author or authors (year of publication, page or range of pages)
Where the reference to the surname of the author of the cited literature is not a natural part of
the text, the reference to the cited source shall be given in aggregate in round brackets after the
cited text in the following form:
(Surname of the author or authors, year of publication, page or range of pages)
Examples:
As stated by Vančurová (2010, p. 96), the entry price is the value from which the assets are depreciated.
Significant factors of the economic recession in the Czech Republic included lower economic activity of
companies due to the fall in exports and also insufficient household consumption (Novák 2010, pp. 25-
70).
Citation for the whole work
When referring to an entire source that deals with a particular issue, not a specific idea on the
page or range of pages, the reference to the work contains these elements:
 author’s surname
 year of publication
Examples:
The theory of macroeconomic shocks is described by Novotný (2009) in his article.
The most important contemporary textbook on marketing management is considered to be the textbook
by Kotler and Keller (2013).
Additional citation principles in the text
In the case of a work with four or more authors, only the first author is mentioned in the text and
is followed by "et al." In the Refereces, it is necessary to list all authors according to the citation
standard.
Examples:
Janáček et al. (2004) believe that the socialist economy showed a slowdown in the 1980s.
If the cited work does not have a particular author and has been published by a particular
institution, then we cite as in the case of direct citation, indirect citation or reference to the whole
work, with the difference that instead of the author's surname we state the abbreviation of the
institution.
Examples:
According to an OECD study (2010, p. 27), the Czech economy belongs to the export-oriented
economies.
"The key indicator of the labour market, i.e. the share of unemployed people in the Czech
Republic, has dropped dramatically to 2.8% in the last two years." (MPSV, 2014, p. 12)
If we want to refer in the text to an electronic source where the author and the title cannot be
identified, i.e. it is not a book, an article in a journal or the proceedings, a working paper, an
annual report or a study, then it can be quoted in a footnote along with stating the placement of
this online information source and the date of its download. In this case, it is not necessary to refer
to the source again in the References. Typically, this kind of quotation refers to information from
institutions website in html format.
Examples:
The Parliament also gives its consent to some important decisions, among which
the accession of new countries to the EU is ranked2
.
This year firms have spent 10 billion crowns from the Operational Program Enterprise and Innovation
(OPPI). In total, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT) supported Czech, especially small and
medium-sized enterprises, with the amount of 36 billion crowns3
.
Karviná is a town with more than 58,000 inhabitants located 18 km east of Ostrava on the northern edge
of the foothills of the Beskydy Mountains in the valley of the Olše River. Part of the northern border of
Karviná is at the same time the border with Poland4
.
Objects in the text
Table or figure objects can be pasted into the FT, which should suitably complement the text.
Graph, diagram, chart, etc. are a type of figure, so they are commonly referred to as “figure”.
Both tables and figures are centred in the text. The font size and colour scheme of the tables or
figures are not strictly given, so your creativity is possible. Above all, it is important to remember
that, first of all, tables or figures should be readable and clear.
The reference to the source from which the table or figure was taken or from which the data was
downloaded and from which the table or figure originated, contains the same particulars as in the
previous cases, i.e.:
 author’s surname or institution abbreviation
 year of publication
 page or range of pages
 in the case of an electronic source, the particulars of this type of source must also be stated.
Harvard-style citations are listed below the table or figure and centred on the page (font size 10).
As a rule, all tables and figures must be referenced in the text at the same time. Otherwise, they
shall be included in the Annexes.

A) Full citation of legislation in the text
When citing the source for the first time, a full citation of a law is given (see Article 61 GLR) and
the citation contains the data in the following order:
 indication of the type of legislation
 serial number (under which it was published in the Collection of Laws)
 year of publication
 abbreviation „Coll.“
 name of the legislation
 if another text follows the title of the legislation, it is separated by a comma.
Example: Act No. 1/1991 Coll., on Employment
The authority that issued the law or other legislative document is not cited in the citation (see
Art.61 (2) of the GLR). We always cite the current wording of the current state of the legislation
at the time of drafting the document and citation including the appropriate amendments (see
Article 65 (2) of the GLR). If a regulation has been amended once, the following citation shall be
appended to the full citation of the legal document in the form: "as amended" and abbreviated
bibliographic citation of the amending regulation. If the legislation has been amended several
times, it is sufficient to state "as subsequently amended".
Example: Act No. 128/2000 Sb., on Municipalities (municipal establishment), as subsequently amended
Generally known legal regulations such as the “Civil Code”, “Labour Code”, etc. can only be
cited verbally in a fixed word form without any other information specified under A).
Example: Civil Code
B) Abbreviated citation of legislation in the text
The abbreviated citation can be stated only if the given regulation has already been cited in the
text by a complete citation under A). The abbreviated form of the citation is given in the form:
 indication of the type of legislation

 year of publication
 abbreviation „Coll.“
Example: Act No. 1/1991 Coll.
The abbreviated form of the citation may also have a word form.
Example: Employment Act
C) Full citation of foreign legislation and international treaties in the text
The citation of foreign legislation cannot be used except for the citation of the European Union
(EU) regulations published in the Official Journal of the European Union. International treaties
can only be cited if they have been published in the Collection of Laws, in the Collection of
International Treaties or published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Prior to the
Lisbon Treaty, i.e. before 2010, regulations were issued within the European Community (EC).
The complete bibliographic citation of EU legislation is given in the form:
 type of legislation (regulation, directive, decision),
 the body that issued the legislation,
 year of publication,
 serial number,
 Community / Union abbreviation,
 date of publication,
 title.
An exception is the EU regulations, where the year of publication appears after the serial number.
Example: Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the
application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables
Example: Directive 2016/2102/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016
on the accessibility of public sector entities' websites and mobile applications
D) An abbreviated bibliographic citation of EU legislation is given in the form:
