Many journals request a total no of references close to 30. What are the ways to minimise the references list? I have a list of 43 references.
Hello Parami
If you need to reduce your references significantly, there are some actions you can take. Here are some suggestions:
- Limit your sources for research to the last 10 years.
- Prioritize the lead authors and main studies you argue with.
- Summarize theses, findings, and insights in a result-oriented way by referring only to the most important sources.
- Consider whether you need to cite sources for commonplaces that can be assumed to be widely known.
Suggest to check this article and find out.
