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.
