Reference Material

 




Reference Material



1.    Bibliography:

Any source you cited and the reports should be listed in their references (bibliography) at the end of the report. The bibliography is primarily an alphabetical list of books and other printed or manuscript materials-  not a record of what is in them. Each bibliography entry should answer three questions:

(1) Who wrote it? (the author) 

(2) What is the title?

(3) What are the facts of publication?

 

 In preparing a good bibliography, the following guidelines are useful:

1.    References are arranged in alphabetical order according to the last name of the author which is listed first.

2.    Each entry is placed flush with the left margin of the page, and subsequent lines are single-spaced and indented five spaces. A double-space separate entries.

3.    If no author name is given, the name of the publication or the sponsoring organisation or sometimes the title is listed as the author disregarding “A”,”An”,or “ the” the in alphabetizing.

4.    Page numbers of an article or other item from a periodical or reference work should be given.

 

2.Appendices:

 Appendices are used for materials that supplement the text but are not appropriate for inclusion in it. They may include tables and data- important, but not essential to the understanding of the report. Examples of appendices are copies of cover letters used, printed forms of questionnaire, test and other data gathering devices, original data, summary tabulations, lengthy tables containing data of lesser importance, supplementary illustrative materials, and special computer programs or printouts.  Each separate entry heading is listed as APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B etc. Reference to items contained in the appendices is made in the text of the paper.
