Bibliography Writing

Research Methodology Course


Dr. Malika HAOUCHA
What is a bibliography?

 A bibliography is a list of the sources you used to get information for your report. It is
included at the end of your report, on the last page (or last few pages).

 You will find it easier to prepare your final bibliography if you keep track of each book,
encyclopedia, or article you use as you are reading and taking notes. Start a preliminary, or
draft, bibliography by listing on a separate sheet of paper all your sources. Note down the
full title, author, place of publication, publisher, and date of publication for each source.
Using Note Cards

 Also, every time a fact gets recorded on a note card, its source should be noted in the top
right corner.
 When you are finished writing your paper, you can use the information on your note cards
to double-check your bibliography.
 When assembling a final bibliography, list your sources (texts, articles, interviews, and so
on) in alphabetical order by authors' last names.
 Sources that don't have authors (encyclopedias, movies) should be alphabetized by title.
There are different formats for bibliographies, so make sure you choose one type and be
consisitent in its use throughout the whole paper.
