(Author, Year+letter)
(Madsen, 2006a)
(Madsen, 2006b)

Put a semicolon between sources when you have multiple sources in a parentheses:

(Fuentes, 2011; Morrison, 2012)

Tips in EndNote: 
Put the pointer in the parentheses with the reference you want to add to a source and insert one or more references from EndNote.

When referring to sources by different authors with the same last name in the running text, you should include initials.
(A. A. Author's Surname, year)
J. P. Olsen (2014) disagrees with A. L. Olsen (2013) ...

If no personal author is specified, the organisation is considered the author. This is common for web pages and reports. 
(Statistics Norway, n.d.)

If the organisation has a long name, and you know you are going to refer to the source many times, you can use a short form. The first time you refer to the organisation in the text, enter the short form in square brackets, after the name, as follows:

(Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers [NOAS], 2000).
In following mentions, just use the short form, as follows: (NOAS, 2000). The short form should be a widely used abbreviation familiar to readers. Organisation names must be written in full in the reference list.

Tips in EndNote:
Type the name of the organisation in the "Author" field. Remember to put a comma after the name of organisations if it consists of multiple words – e.g.: Statistics Norway,

Abbreviation of name of organisation:

In Word, place your pointer in the parentheses with the reference you want to edit and click "Edit & Manage Citations" in the EndNote tab.

Select “Exclude author” under “Formatting” and enter “Name of organisation [Abbreviation], ” in the “Prefix” field – e.g. “Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers [NOAS], ”  Remember to put a space right after the comma.

No year (date)

In a source where the year (date) is not specified, "n.d." is used in the parentheses:

(Directorate of Education, n.d.)

No place of publication

In a source where the place of publication is not specified, the abbreviation n.p. is used in the reference list.

Arnesen, I. (2018). Den lille boka. n.p.: Publisher.

No page number(s) given

If page numbers are missing, you can list paragraphs, chapters, or sections. Paragraph, chapter or section is then placed at the end of the parentheses, after the year, if any:

(White Paper No. 12, 2002-2003, Chap. 4.3.1)

(Personal Data Act, Section 18)

Tips in EndNote:

No year (date): Type n.d. in the "Year" field

No page number(s) given: In Word, place your pointer in the short reference in the text you want to edit and click "Edit & Manage Citations" in the EndNote tab. Enter paragraph, chapter, or section in the "Pages" field.

Indirect quote / Summary/ Paraphrase 
In the text, you reproduce the contents of the source in your own words, i.e. you reformulate the original text. This is called an indirect quote or summary. Make sure not to distort the meaning of the original source when you do a rewrite. When you use an indirect quote, the author's last name and year must be given. There are slightly different practices when it comes to page numbers. You should provide page numbers unless otherwise specified or the subject teacher has other wishes.
(Dalland, 2013, p. 39) or (Dalland, 2013)

Quote
In running text you can quote your source verbatim, i.e. use a transcript. This is called a direct quote. When using direct quotes, the author, year and page the text is taken from are given:
(Erikson, 2010, p. 76)

Less than 40 words
The quotation is to be written as part of the running text in double quotation marks, with the reference in parentheses: "When we quote a text and not only refer, we must, according to the APA system, always specify which page the quote is on" (Erikson, 2010, p. 76).

More than 40 words
The quotation is set up as a separate paragraph without quotation marks. The paragraph should have a wider left margin:

By using a kindergartner's concept of cheating and "pretend" the authors get across what they mean by presence:

Be present – you cannot cheat with your presence. To cheat with your presence means that you are only "pretend" present, and we who work in kindergartens know that "pretend" is a place found only in the imagination. (...) your employees will see through you immediately. (Nakling & Vavik, 2010, p. 83)

If part of a quote is omitted, use an ellipsis (...) to indicate where text is omitted.

Tips in EndNote:

Insert page numbers: In Word, place your pointer in the short reference in the text you want to edit and click "Edit & Manage Citations" in the EndNote tab. Enter page numbers in the "Pages" field.
