Learning Competency: Use Conventions in Citing Sources (EN8SS-IIIg1.6.4)

CONCEPT/SHORT INPUT
A bibliography is a list of books, scholarly articles, speeches, private
records, diaries, interviews, laws, letters, website, and other sources you
use when researching a topic, and writing a paper. The bibliography
appears at the end.

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

whose work you have 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 academics world, papers are not
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 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), Chicago
(author-date citations or footnotes/endnotes format), Turabian style.

The bibliography is sometimes also called the references, works

cited, or works consulted page.

Components of a Bibliography Entry
Bibliography entries will compile:

• Authors and/or editors (and translators, if applicable)

• Title of your source (as well as edition, volume, and the book title if
your source is a chapter or article in a multi-author book with an
editor)
• Publication information (the city, state, name of the publisher, date
published, page numbers consulted, and URL or DOI, if applicable)
• Access date, in the case of online sources (check with the style guide at the
beginning of your research as to whether you need to track this
information)
Order and Formatting

Your entries should be listed in alphabetical order by the last name

of the first author. If you are using two publications that are written by the
same author, the order and format will depend on the style guide.

In MLA, Chicago, Turabian style, you should list the duplicate-

author entries in alphabetical order according to the title of the work. The
author’s name is written as normal for his or her first entry, but for the
second entry, you will replace the author’s name with three long dashes.

In APA style, you list the duplicate-author entries in chronological

order of publication, placing the earliest first. The name of the author is
used for all the entries.

For works with more than one author, styles vary as to whether you
invert the name of any authors after the first. Whether you use title casing
or sentence-style casing on titles of sources, and whether you separate
elements with commas or periods also varies among different style guides.
Consult the guide’s manual for more detailed information.

 Bibliography entries are usually formatted using hanging indent.
This means that the first line of each citation is not indented, but
subsequent lines of each citation are intended. Check with your instructor
of publication to see if this format is required and look up information in
your word processor’s help program if you do not know how to create a
hanging indent with it.

 THE RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC IN OUR STUDENTS’ LIVES:

Plagiarism is about whether a work is properly cited. Most already know

that plagiarism is an unethical and a violation of your school or future
workplace’s honor code.

Furthermore, most plagiarism can be avoided if the references were

properly cited. Remember it is acceptable that we use the ideas of others,
but to put credit on their names.
