bibliography page
/ˌbɪbliˈɒɡrəfi peɪdʒ/
Meaning
A bibliography page is a dedicated section at the end of an academic paper that lists all the sources consulted during research. Unlike a works cited page, it can include background reading that was not directly cited in the text. It must follow a specific formatting style, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago.
