FOR REFERENCING IN THIS
REPORT, WE'LL USE THE "REFERENCE NUMBER" FORMAT USED IN MANY SCIENCE
JOURNALS LIKE SCIENCE & NATURE, e.g.:
For example, in the text of your report, refer to the source
with a number in parentheses this way:
. . . . .the engines of traditional automobiles that run on
gasoline convert only 20% of the energy in the gasoline into
powering the vehicle (3). The energy efficiency of electric vehicles
is much higher (75 %) (3) . . . .blah blah blah blah (4) . . . . . etc.
Then at the end of your report, include a REFERENCE LIST,
showing the sources in the order your mentioned them in the text of
your report, with the corresponding reference #. You may use
a SMALLER FONT and single space so your reference list won't take up
a lot of space. Here's an example:
REFERENCES
1.
2. Reference 2
3. Reference 3 <== here is where you'd enter the source of the information about
the energy efficiency of gasoline vs. electricity-powered cars
(e.g.,
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evtech.shtml )
4. Reference 4
5. etc.
