references in textual, numeric, or similar formats. These include various types of
publications as well as unpublished manuscripts, databases, and documents. They do
not include material written for internet-based web display, but they may be hosted on
the internet retrieved from there. These sources can generally be consulted for
verification (although their availability may expire in some cases). They are generally
