ABSTRACT

Every piece of geographical writing MUST include a reference list. That means ALL essays, reports, practicals, posters, presentations, reports. . . ALL OF THEM. A reference list is an alphabetical record of ALL the sources you quote in your document, whether you read them or not, placed at the end of the text. A reference list does not include ‘other things I read, but didn’t quote in the text’. You might be asked to produce a bibliography as a task in its own right. A bibliography is an alphabetical list of sources or references on a particular topic; a complete bibliography would include every document relating to a topic. To create an annotated bibliography, sort the references into subsections, with a brief statement or paragraph justifying your groupings and describing the contents.
