research bibliography

Study source list

A research bibliography is a list of sources consulted or cited in academic or scholarly work.

Unlike a works cited page, which includes only sources directly referenced, a research bibliography may include background reading and related materials that informed the research: The professor required an annotated research bibliography with each paper.
