As a student, you MUST avoid plagiarizing information. Remember, as an NMBU student, it is your responsibility to learn how to properly cite and reference information you use in your written assignments/thesis. Learning how to properly cite and reference to avoid plagiarism does take some work, but we have arranged some useful websites to help you improve your in-text citations and references.

Endnote
Endnote is a software referencing system. Endnote will make creating in-text citations and your reference pages much easier, and as an NMBU student, you can download Endnote for free.

APA Referencing Manuals

Kildekompasset is an easy to use referencing guide for APA 6th edition. Quick filter options and support in Norwegian and English make this a simple tool to learn how to properly cite in APA style. This is a useful resource, but does not provide information on every type of citable resource. This is a good starting point, but you may need to look for some additional information elsewhere

Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) APA is a complete citation and reference manual. This website is regularly updated and provides nearly all the information you need to properly cite and reference in APA 6th edition. While this site is less easy to navigate than Kildekompasset, the Purdue OWL site is thorough and should answer all citation and reference questions you have. It will also provide formatting information (indenting, line spacing, title pages, etc.).

NMBU Harvard Reference Manual
NMBU has developed its own referencing style. The NMBU Harvard style is similar to APA, but with some minor formatting changes. Endnote will allow reference output in the NMBU Harvard style, and the NMBU Library provides a referencing manual.
