Problems can arise in compiling a [[List of References]]. (A '''List of References''' is a list of all the sources used in writing a piece of academic work. For more about the basics of this, see [[Referencing]], [[Principles of Referencing]] or [[Systems of academic referencing]].) Some of the problems may be covered here; otherwise, seek advice from someone in your area.
