Annex 6: References. The reference list, in alphabetical order following the format given below, should contain only the key documents referred to in the International Species Action or Management plan text, not general literature on the species. Titles of journals should be given in full. Ideally, information from peer-reviewed sources should be preferred over “grey literature” and personal contributions or comments. This will enhance the credibility and objectivity of the Action or Management Plan. However, not all information needed for Action and Management Plans is officially published. In such cases compilers should judge the available information carefully and responsibly and clearly indicate that the sources used are such in the Action or Management Plan text itself. Information stored in institutional databases should also be included in the list of references, with indication of the source and date of access to the database.

In such cases compilers should judge the available information carefully and responsibly and clearly indicate that the sources used are such in the Management Plan text itself. Much valuable information is, for example, now available through the National Reports provided by Range States to meetings of the various AEWA International Single Species Working Groups. Information stored in institutional databases should also be included in the list of references, with indication of the source and date of access to the database.
