  text: "<jats:p>While referencing is an important feature of academic writing, many
    students struggle with using sources. This struggle seems to be due, in part,
    to the tension students experience when advised to cite sources (i.e., others’
    voices) on the one hand, and to demonstrate their own disciplinary voice on the
    other hand. The aim of this article is to contribute to the understanding of source
    use, presenting a figure that illustrates gradients of students’ engagement with
    sources in various sections of their bachelor’s theses. Based on Bakhtin’s idea
    that a writer’s voice gradually emerges out of others’ words, and the terms knowledge
    telling and knowledge transforming, we developed a continuum that might help to
    understand the complexity of source use. We arrived at this continuum through
    the qualitative exploration of students’ use of sources in 15 bachelor’s theses
    from the humanities in one Norwegian university. In this article, we illustrate
    the continuum through extracts from the students’ theses, showing how issues of
    voice are intertwined with students’ engagement with sources. We propose that
    understanding the various functions of sources as they are typically used in the
    disciplines will help students to develop and demonstrate their disciplinary voices.
    Moreover, the continuum provides a foundation for fruitful discussions of writing
    practices that raise critical awareness about implicit expectations concerning
    source use and issues of voice in academic writing.\r\n </jats:p>"
