Lesson: Bibliography of the Research

Quarter: 4th Quarter

Date: Week 4

Bibliography

A bibliography or citation page lists the sources that were used

to create the paper, in alphabetical order, at the very end of your
paper.

Purpose of Bibliography

The main purpose of a bibliography entry is to give credit to authors

whose work you've consulted in your research. It also makes it easy for a
reader to find out more about your topic by delving into the research that
you used to write your paper. In the academic world, papers aren't written
in a vacuum; academic journals are the way new research on a topic
circulates and previous work is built upon.
Bibliography entries must be written in a very specific format, but that
format will depend on the particular style of writing you follow. Your teacher
or publisher will tell you which style to use, and for most academic papers it
will be either MLA, American Psychological Association (APA)

Two Formats of Citations

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is the simplest way to

do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end
of the sentence.

APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly

used to cite sources for research and other scholarly works.
