What’s New

If you were asked to do a research work on stories of Filipino women, how will you find a
reliable source of information about the topic? Will you search it on the internet or visit the library to
find appropriate books? In doing so, do you closely look at the parts or details of the sources that you
use?

This part of the module will lead you to an initial understanding of the importance of looking at the parts
or details of a source. Look at the text below. Study and analyze it.

What Is It

In the previous part of the module, you have seen an illustration of a cover page of a book and
its parts. Do you think it is important to take note of these information and cite them in your research?

When you do your research, you need to cite or list your sources. Whenever you take specific facts, ideas,
or quotations from a book, magazine, newspaper, or other sources, you make sure to cite the source.

Here are some important reasons why you need to cite or list the sources:

 It gives credit to the authors.

 It provides you and the reader with more information about the sources.
 It shows the writer’s credibility, referring to whether his/her sources are reliable.
 It prevents plagiarism, an act of stealing someone else’s ideas and presenting them as your own.

Look at the sample text inside the box. How many sources do you see? One way of citing your sources is
through listing them on a separate page of your research paper. This page is what we call a bibliography.

What is a Bibliography?

A bibliography is taken from the Greek word ‘biblion’ which means ‘book’ and ‘graphia’ which means ‘to
write.’ A bibliography contains an alphabetical list of sources like books, periodicals, and websites used by the
writer or researcher.

Bibliography is a term used to describe the study of books and cultural objects with the intent of achieving
an academic purpose. It is also described as a discipline that entails the listing of books in an organized
manner, also known as enumerative bibliography, or the systematic manner of describing books similar to
objects, a descriptive bibliography that forms the literature of a subject under study.

A research paper should contain a bibliography written on a separate page and should be located at the end
of the paper. Each entry uses a hanging indention, also known as a second line indention.

There are many styles or formats in citing or listing sources, depending on the subject.

The three main citation styles are the following:

APA Bibliography Format

The American Psychological Association (APA) Style which is used in social and
behavioral sciences.

MLA Bibliography Format

The Modern Language Association (MLA) Style which is used for writing papers
on literature and related subjects like theater or film.

CMOS Bibliography Format

The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) which is often used in many academic fields,
especially in the humanities and social sciences.

Good bibliographies should include the following:

• The authors’ names

• Title of the books, works or objects referred to in the research paper or thesis.
• Date of publication
• Names of publishers and their locations
• If there were multiple volumes in a given source volume, then page number(s) must be included

The exact method and formatting required, will depend on the referencing style that your institution uses.
