BIBLIOGRAPHY
FORMAT
| The
bibliography, a list of sources used to gather information and
alphabetized by the authors’ last names (or whatever is first in the entry), is placed at the end of your paper.
It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and
retrieve any sources you cite in your research. |
