+\section{Reference Fraud}\label{ss:plagiarism_references}
+I hereby declare that all the references in this thesis refer to genuine scientific work published in peer-reviewed journals or other sources of reliable and safe online information (\eg Wikipedia articles) and have been used in accordance to the article authors' wishes.
+Additionally, under the guidance of the supervisor this work adheres to the strictest rules for referencing and to prove the originality of all references, each \BibTeX citation contains a \texttt{note} field with the following comment: \emph{This BibTeX citation comes from:} followed by the URL leading directly to the citation source.
+In case of citations not formatted in \BibTeX, the same format follows but with adequate reference-style name (\eg APA, Chicago, MLA).
+In order to verify the originality of a reference we advise: \begin{enumerate*}[label=(\arabic*)]
+	\item create a \LaTeX~document with the \texttt{is-unstr} bibliography style
+	\item export the \BibTeX citation from the reference URL
+	\item inspect the compiled reference (ignoring any differences arising from the contents of the \texttt{note} \BibTeX field).
+\end{enumerate*}
+The compiled reference should match exactly the reference from this document, subject to the use of different \LaTeX~packages (\eg \texttt{url}, \texttt{natbib}).
