A Bibliography is a list in which all works consulted for the text are given. Each entry in this list should have at least the author(s) name(s), the year of publication, and the title of the cited work and its origin (for example, the journal name if the work was published in a journal, or book name if the cited work is a book chapter, web site if the work was published only online, and so forth). The order in which these entries are listed, and the way that entries are formatted, differs in different fields.

A Bibliography differs from a References section in that References usually contain only those works that are specifically cited in the text.
