Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.

If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, ask a librarian! If you have questions about Wikipedia's sourcing rules, you can use the Get Help button below to contact your Wikipedia Expert.

Bibliography

Feoli, L., Arce, M., Maboudi, T., Eisenstadt, T., & Girón, F. (2025). The correlates of climate change concern in Guatemala. Climate Risk Management, 50, 100747. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crm.2025.100747
- This is a peer-reviewed journal, the most reliable of its kind. Taking a look at the first few pages, it's professionally written, fact-checked, and in-depth.
Rivera, P. (2024). Climate change projections in guatemala: Temperature and precipitation changes according to CMIP6 models. Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 10(2), 2031-2049. doi:https://doi.org/10.1007/s40808-023-01881-5
- On top of being peer-reviewed, this could not be any more related to the article that I am covering. With projected graphs and charts, this piece of writing will be helpful.
Moran-Taylor, M., Taylor, M. J., & Galemba, R. (2024). Migration, livelihoods & climate change in the cuchumatán highlands of guatemala. Focus on Geography, 67, 1. doi:https://doi.org/10.21690/foge/2O24.67.1f
- This peer-reviewed journal touches more on how climate change affects the people of Guatemala, more so then the land itself. Obviously, will be very useful for this project.
Salim, K. U., Álvarez, F.,S., Chan-Golston, A., Naughton, C. C., Cisneros, R., & Joyce, A. (2024). Socioeconomic and environmental factors associated with dengue fever incidence in guatemala: Rising temperatures increase dengue risk. PLoS One, 19(8) doi:https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0308271
- Much like the 2nd source on this list, this peer-reviewed journal is very in-depth with this topic. But what's interesting about this one, is its focus on a specific disease transmitted by mosquitoes, which is neat.
Carmona, R., Carril, F., & Yon, R. (2023). The recognition of indigenous peoples in latin american climate governance: A review of nationally determined contributions. Weather, Climate, and Society, 15(1), 195-210. doi:https://doi.org/10.1175/WCAS-D-22-0059.1
- Even though this peer-reviewed journal does not touch on Guatemala's climate change problem specifically, it is related to it, to an extent.
Ramirez Villegas, J.; Navarro, C.E.; Martinez Baron, D. (2025) Monitores climáticos. Fortaleciendo la resiliencia local de personas agricultoras a través de datos y conocimiento agroclimático en Guatemala. 2 p.
- For one of my sources, I wanted something a little more unique than another peer-reviewed journal, but still reliable. So, this source is more of a "PSA" or an infographic that talks about this issue. It's in Spanish, but still gives good information.

Examples:

Luke, Learie. 2007. Identity and secession in the Caribbean: Tobago versus Trinidad, 1889–1980 Kingston, Jamaica: University of the West Indies Press.
- This is a book published by a university press, so it should be a reliable source. It also covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Galeano, Gloria; Bernal, Rodrigo. 2013. "Sabinaria , a new genus of palms (Cryosophileae, Coryphoideae, Arecaceae) from the Colombia-Panama border". Phytotaxa.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. It covers the topic in some depth, so it's helpful in establishing notability.
Baker, William J.; Dransfield, John 2016. "Beyond Genera Palmarum: progress and prospects in palm systematics". Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.
- This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source for a specific fact. Since it only dedicates a few sentences to the topic, it can't be used to establish notability.
