Hi everyone

A quick question about referencing

Out of pure pressure (long story) i forgot to arrange my references in aphabetical order..while they are all there...they are not ordered in fact..about half are alphabetical.while the others seem really scattered (It was a large list , 83 ref for 3500 words)

Do you think id lose a lot of marks for this? so disappointed in myself for not doing it right

What's it for?

83 references is not a huge list - if you have the time I would suggest correcting it.

But, you should really be using reference management software, which makes reformatting a bibliography trivial. EndNote is probably the most popular choice, but there are a range of other options:
