Formatting and reference guides

Here you find information about Hanken's referencing and formatting guides.

Formatting guide

Hanken uses a formatting guide when it comes to academic papers and thesis. There are issues in opening the guide in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Use any other web browser e.g. Firefox if the guide does not open in Chrome.

The formatting guide, even if it uses Microsoft Word as its template, gives a general conception on how writing programs work and this skill can be applied also to other writing programs. The formatting guide instructs you how to put your dissertations and other academic assignments in Hanken standard format. The guide also helps you use specific functions of Word programs.
