At a glance
A plain-language summary. The numbered clauses below are what legally applies.
- Cite the student who wrote the note, not WeGrowNepal.
- Include their name, the note’s title, the year, and the link.
- Notes are student-written and are not peer-reviewed sources — say so where it matters.
- You never need our permission to cite anything here.
1. Who to credit
- 1.1
Credit the contributor who wrote the note. WeGrowNepal is the place it is published, not its author.
Why this is here
This is the same distinction as citing an article rather than the library you read it in.
- 1.2
The contributor’s name and handle appear on every note and on its page. Where a contributor has used only a handle, the handle is the correct name to cite.
2. The form
- 2.1
A general form that works for most citation styles: Author Name. “Note Title”. WeGrowNepal, Year. URL
- 2.2
For example: Prince Kasaudhan. “Profit and Loss”. WeGrowNepal, 2026. https://www.wegrownepal.com/notes/muag9rxa
- 2.3
Where your institution requires an accessed-on date, use the date you read it. Notes can be edited by their authors, so the date matters more here than for a printed source.
3. What to say about the source
- 3.1
Notes on WeGrowNepal are written by students. They are not textbooks, not peer-reviewed, and not endorsed by any board, university or examination authority.
Why this is here
Describing them accurately protects you as much as anyone. A marker who discovers a source is a classmate’s notes is far more forgiving if you said so.
- 3.2
Check anything load-bearing against your current syllabus or a published text before relying on it in assessed work.
4. Permission
- 4.1
You do not need permission from us or from the contributor to cite, quote or reference a note. Citation is not reproduction.
- 4.2
Reproducing a note in full — in a printed compilation, a paid course pack, or another platform — is a different question, and is covered by the Platform Licence and the Contributor Licence.
