Study Notes
What is a Bibliography?
- A bibliography is a list of sources consulted and cited in a research paper or project.
- It's Greek in origin, with "biblio" meaning "book" and "graphia" meaning "writing."
- It gives credit to the original authors, preventing plagiarism.
- Modern bibliographies include various sources like books, journal articles, websites, films, and social media.
- Every research paper or project needs a bibliography.
- Bibliography titles vary by citation style (e.g., "Bibliography," "References," "Works Cited").
- Bibliographies also help establish a writer's credibility, showing evidence supporting ideas, influences on the work, and consulted sources.
Types of Bibliographies
- Enumerative/Systematic: A standard list of cited sources, ordered alphabetically by author's last name.
- Annotated: Includes detailed summaries (approx. 150 words) of each source, explaining its content and value to the research. Used early in research projects.
- Working: A preliminary, evolving list of sources. Not polished, may not be alphabetized, and changes as research progresses.
- Period: Focuses on sources from a specific historical period, aiding historical research.
- Subject: Concentrates on sources about a particular subject.
How to Write a Bibliography
- Placed after the main text but before appendices.
- Includes all consulted sources, and their bibliographic details.
- Essential information includes author(s), title, year of publication, publisher, journal/newspaper, website location (where applicable), and other relevant info.
- Various citation styles (Chicago, APA, MLA) govern formatting and ordering.
- Online citation generators can help but consult a style guide for correct application.
