Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

my bibliography is way to long for my project board it takes up 3 pages (my board can only take 1 or 1.5 max )

Hello.

I recommend you prioritize your sources, perhaps based on most used (still alphabetize after you prioritize). I recommend keeping it to one page and leave space at the bottom to annotate "additional source information documented in project report."

Congratulations on finishing your project, and good luck!

Bibliographies can take up a whole lot of space, especially if you did a lot of research. If your bibliography is three pages long and that is too much, try making the font a lot smaller. Another option is expanding the board so that there is more room for the bibliography. Hope this helps!

Hello JoJM,

I would like to emphasize that it would be better to follow the suggestions from the expert, Deana, and select just the high priority references. As an ISEF judge, I suggest that you do NOT reduce the font size to make the references fit. Judges view your project much more favorably if they read all the information on your board!

Best of luck!
