You must include data/information from an internet/literature source that you can compare with the data from your experiment.

You must cite your internet/literature source within the body of the report near to the relevant data/information, and include the reference later in the report.

You can cite a source in many ways. One example is to put a number, for example (1), next to the data/information and the same number beside the reference given later in the report.

You must include the following information in a reference:
