The references cited in the 29 winner essays were examined with respect to their type.Out of the non-duplicate 3679 references, 51% were books, 37% were scientific papers, 8% were scientific materials, and the remaining 4% were other materials.Among the top 10 most cited references, 7 were books and 6 were related to near-death experiences.Materials related to near-death experiences are considered the most relevant to support the survival of human consciousness
