Bibliography

 A bibliography is a structured list of sources (books, articles, websites, reports, etc.) that were consulted, referenced, or used in preparing a piece of academic, professional, or research work. It shows where you got your information and gives credit to the original authors.

   • URLs or DOIs for online sources

3. Format:
   The format depends on the style guide used, such as:

   • APA (American Psychological Association)
