FOR REFERENCING IN THIS REPORT, WE'LL USE THE "REFERENCE NUMBER" FORMAT USED IN MANY SCIENCE JOURNALS LIKE SCIENCE & NATURE, e.g.:

 

For example, in the text of your report, refer to the source with a number in parentheses this way:

 . . . . .The UV Index is blah, blah blah (3). The average UV index for Arizona is blah blah (4) . . . . . etc.

Then at the end of your report, include a REFERENCE LIST, showing the sources in the order your mentioned them in the text of your report, with the corresponding reference #.  You may use a SMALLER FONT and single space so your reference list won't take up a lot of space.  Here's an example:
