Abstract<\/span><\/h3>\n

A mandatory part is the abstract before the introduction. The abstract (c.<\/em> 500 words) contains a short summary of your thesis reporting your objectives and outcomes. Write your abstract when you have completed the main text of your thesis.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you write your thesis in English, you have to add two abstracts, one in English and a translation in Mandarin.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you write your thesis in Mandarin, you only need one abstract in Mandarin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The abstract will be followed by a certain number of keywords (choose c.<\/em> 5\u00ad\u201310 keywords). Thus, the thesis content is condensed into a short list of words. When your thesis will be published on the website of NTNU Main Library, the keywords will help potential readers to find your thesis when searching literature on a certain topic in the library catalog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Declaration of Academic Integrity<\/span><\/h3>\n

Never copy text or ideas<\/u> from an original work without mentioning the source. This is considered to be fraud (plagiarism).<\/span><\/p>\n

Students must execute their scholarly work independently and all sources used in the text\u2014taken from archive material, books, articles, essays, dissertations, and other printed materials or the internet\u2014must be quoted or paraphrased correctly, acknowledged in the footnotes of the thesis and listed in the bibliography. A signed paper copy of the Declaration of Academic Integrity<\/em> has to be submitted with the thesis.<\/span><\/p>\n
