Bibliography

A bibliography is a list of sources used in the preparation of a document. Acknowledgement or citing these sources should be used if you do not use any direct quotes from them. It shows that you did research and didn’t make up key facts and/or supporting quotes.

From the References tab, within the Citations & Bibliography group, click on the Bibliography command button. Select the bibliography format from the drop down list.
