It is the ABNT standard that defines how bibliographic references are built in Brazil: which elements to include, in what order, and with what punctuation. It is the standard required in most Brazilian academic papers, capstones, dissertations and theses. It is unrelated to APA, MLA, Chicago or Vancouver.
It is only the work-type label and the associated degree: capstone for undergraduate, Dissertation for Master's, Thesis for Doctorate. The reference structure is identical in all three cases, only the "Type (Degree in Field)" label changes.
The college, school, center or institute inside the university that hosted the work, for example "School of Medicine" or "Institute of Computing", separated by a comma from the university's own name.
Only when you consulted the work through a digital repository instead of a physical copy. Turn on the "Accessed online" option in the generator to include the URL and access date in that case.
Enter at least one author with a surname.
