Write references - refer to your sources according to the guidelines

Support and help with your references

There are general guidelines on how and when to cite sources you use in your work. How you write your references depends on which referencing system you use. The Vancouver referencing system is often used within Medicine, while the APA referencing system is more common within Health Sciences, such as Nursing and Occupational Therapy. Harvard is most common within Public Health.

Plagiarism

Cite correctly - Avoid plagiarism

When writing a thesis, it is important to clearly state whether you are writing something that you have found from another text. It must be stated if your own thoughts and formulations or someone else's, and if so, where you have found it. It's about academic integrity. If you do not refer to your sources (whether it concerns text or images) you commit plagiarism, which may lead to suspension from the university. The Faculty of Medicine uses the Urkund program to check that plagiarism has not taken place.
