A bibliography is a list of the research materials you used when writing your paper. You must create a bibliography to give credit to the authors of these research materials, and to prove that your paper is not plagiarized. A citation gives specific details about each resource. You must write a citation for every source you used while conducting your research. The rules for writing a citation are different for each type of resource, so follow these guidelines very carefully! |
