In-Text Referencing
When you use a quote, picture, table or anything else that is not yours, make a note of it right beside the borrowed information. The exact format is not important for this project, but do try to be consistent throughout.
Reference List
This is a detailed list of the sources you used in your project. The reference list usually comes at the very end of a report or presentation. Microsoft Word has a References tool that may help you to format your references list.
