How to arrange the Bibliography?

 

Dr N Balakumar

 

During the course of your project work, you would have referred several materials.

 

It becomes important to logically arrange your reference in the bibliography section of the project work since that forms indirectly part of your exhibition in terms of your depth of research.

 

In general, the following will be the order in which the type of reference will appear in the bibliography page:

 

Journals

Periodicals

Books

Reports

Documents

Occasional Papers

Working Papers

Theses

Dissertations

Monographs

Project Works

Dailies

Online Resources

 

Let us view few examples on how to write the references.
