Preguntas frecuentes
Should I include the university location? ▼
Include just the university name. Add country only if disambiguation is needed (e.g., University of Toronto, Canada).
Can I cite an unpublished thesis? ▼
Yes, same format. The designation 'unpublished' is implied.
How specific should the degree type be? ▼
Use PhD thesis, Master's thesis, or the specific degree (M.Sc., M.A., etc.).
