Consult a writing handbook or your teacher's guidelines for the general
format of your report. The discipline within which you are reporting
determines the style. No matter which style you use, you will need to
indicate in the body of your paper where you got each fact or idea; you
will also need a list at the end of the paper of all the sources of
information presented in your report.
