IV. Reference Section
Include a final “References” list of a minimum of five (and no more than 10) academically and scientifically credible sources used for facts shared in your Outline. (Not including images or other media.)

V. Internal Citations
These are not listed on a separate page but instead placed throughout the Outline via in-text citations anytime you paraphrase, use direct quotes, or want to use visual/audio components from other sources. Therefore, all source material should be cited.
All internal citations listed within the Outline should be included in the reference lists and vice versa.
