A bibliography has been produced of the most reliable emission and absorption line ratio diagnostic calculations currently available for application to the spectra of astrophysical sources in the UV and EUV wavelength region (50-3000 Å). References are listed containing diagnostics for species in the Li through P isoelectronic sequences, as well as the iron ions Fe II-Fe XXIII and nickel ions Ni XVII-Ni XXV. Also given is the wavelength range for which diagnostic calculations are presented in each reference, along with the type of diagnostic considered. These include, for example, emission line ratios for determining electron temperatures and densities, and absorption line diagnostics for evaluating hydrogen densities.
