    I have already referenced 100 sources and my final list would be like 120. What do you say? preciously I know OB was passing raps with 40 references and “expert mentors” used to advise the same.

    It is really very confusing to me now…
    When i am analysing last three years , 2010, 2011, 2012
    I got stuck thinking if i also have to tell about the growth that happened in 2010, compared to 2009
    What i mean do i also have to compare 2010 with 2009, (isn’t that a fourth year ?)

    @bassaniobroke

    You can have any number of references, Just ensure you have properly referred all facts and figures.

    Thank You.

    Well, there is no minimum number of reference for the RAP. However, I would recommend minimum of 30 references.
    Please make sure that the reference you pick are from an authentic and trust-able source. All most all the universities in UK will not accept the Wikipedia references. So, make sure you have very good reference sources.

    Cheers

    @M.Hussain boss I am talking of maximum ref. not minimum. 120 reference are usually in the bibliography of 500 page book normally.

    no steadfast rule. anything that SHOULD be referenced MUST be referenced. so what things should be referenced?……
    Anything you borrowed from a source and that source can be anything ranging from TV show to a book, a podcast to a magazine…anything.

    If you are 100% sure that is your knowledge then you won’t be penalized for that. Personally, I would say only 2 reference is bit less.
