The Report should be ordered as follows:

The Report should not be longer than 8,000 words. The word limit applies to the main text area only, as this is where your report is introduced and then carried forward. The final word-count does not include title page, synopsis, acknowledgements, list of contents, notation (if applicable), references, bibliography, or appendix/appendices. 

If the Report is to contain a considerable number of tables and figures, it may be best to place them in an appendix and use in the main text only such summary tables or charts. 

I had found a number of articles. This does not mean you need to include them at all, but have a look if you want at the attached bibliography.
