Pronunciation: [hˈe͡ɪst ɹˈɛfɹəns] (IPA) 
"Hast reference" is a phrase commonly used to indicate that some information or source has been consulted for a particular purpose. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to convey the same idea. These include "alludes to," "refers to," "mentions," "cites," and "quotes." "Alludes to" is a more subtle way of indicating that something has been referred to without explicitly stating it.

"Cites" and "quotes" are more formal and suggest that the information being referred to is being directly attributed to a specific source.
