END IT ALL HERE
By the end of your report, you should have a single source of truth for links to all the assets you employed during your report.
Whether you created them using a tool or got them from a source, you should mention that origin.
This is what we call a webography.
Expect it to look like this at the end of your report, typically after page 131:
1. [Asset Name] - Created using [Tool Name] - [Date]
2. [Asset Name] - Source: [URL] - [Date Accessed]
To get started, it's as easy as following these steps:
Create a PDF page for your title page
Include your main report content
Add a PDF page for your webography
By the end of this process, you will have a complete PDF to add to your core project report, similar to what we did with the title page.
Your final structure should look like this:
[PDF page for your title page]
-- [REPORT WORK] --
[PDF page for your webography]
To construct your webography, you need only these files:
🌳 yasset/
├── 📂 src/
│ └── 📜 reference.bib
└── 📄 main.tex
The main.tex file is where you call the reference.bib file.
The reference.bib file is where you need to put your sources.
Example BibTeX Entry
Here's an example of how to format a source in your reference.bib file:
@misc{Principles,
author = {John is Yahya},
title = {Eliz is John Mother},
year = {2025},
url = {https://dot.h.ya-ya.tech},
note = {Accessed on 2025-01-15},
ignore = {Eliz is at h.ya-ya.tech}
}
Remember to cite these sources in your main text using the appropriate LaTeX commands, such as \cite{example_website}.
Action Time
Create a folder and name it
last.Inside the
lastfolder, create another folder and name ityassets.Inside the
lastfolder, create another folder and name itsrc.Inside the
lastfolder, createmain.tex.Inside the
srcfolder, createreferences.bib.Add this content to
main.tex.Add this content to
references.bib.Go back up to
lastfolder and zip it.Go to overleaf, sign in since you up in title Page already and import the zip.
You should find my webography controlled on your end.
Adding a source to Your Report
Let's do a quick practice run:
Get a picture from a website (for this example, we'll use Canva).
Insert the picture into your report.
Add a citation for the figure in your
reference.bibfile.
Steps:
Download or create an image from Canva.
Insert the image into your report using the appropriate LaTeX command. For example:
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=1.3\textwidth]{path/to/your/image.jpg}
\caption{Description of your figure}
\label{fig:figure3.1}
\end{figure}
- In your
reference.bibfile, add the following entry:
@misc{figure3.1,
title = {Figure 3.1},
howpublished = {\url{https://www.canva.com}},
note = {Accessed on [insert date here]}
}
In your main text, cite the figure using
\cite{figure1.1}.Compile your LaTeX document to generate the PDF.
Your figure should now appear in the report with a proper citation.
Keep this project handy and standalone as you keep working on the core.
You'll continue adding sources to your reference.bib file as you progress.
Once you've finished your project, all these citations will be compiled into a bibliography at the end of your document.
Remember to respect copyright laws when using images from the internet. For example, I allow you to use any of the assets I invented and created online , and even transform or remix them, under one simple condition which is to give me credit.
Here is my official declaration.
Always acknowledge the source .
Here is the DevSecMaps webography.
Ensure you have the right to use the asset in your report.
