2. BIBLIOGRAPHY
• A bibliography, by definition, is a detailed listing of the books,
journals, magazines, or online sources that an author has
used in researching and writing their work. It is important to
note that it must be a complete list including every source
used during the research phase – not just the ones referenced
in the text in any styles of writing. More specifically, a
bibliography must include:
• The name of the author, or authors
• The full title of the source material
• The name of the publisher
• The date of publication
• The page number of the source material
