There are various methods for citing resources in research, and the citation style may vary based on the academic discipline, for example:
| APA (American Psychological Association) | Education, Psychology, Sciences |
| MLA (Modern Language Association) | Humanities |
| Chicago/Turabian | Business, History, Fine Arts |
| ACS (American Chemical Society) | Chemistry |
| Harvard | Geosciences, Mining |
| IEEE (Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers) | Engineering |
There is no one standard citation style used at the NU.
Your professor is a crucial guide in determining your course's specific referencing style requirements. Their expertise is invaluable, and it is essential to consult with them to ensure you are on the right track.
Use a standard style, such as APA, and maintain consistency throughout your paper. All citations and references must consistently adhere to the chosen style, including punctuation and capitalisation.
