definition of bibliography

The term bibliography has two very recurring uses. On the one hand, the word designates that catalog of books, texts, articles and reviews on a certain subject or that concern a certain author. An example is that of technical, scientific or critical books, which usually have a final part specially dedicated to the bibliography in which all those books or texts used in the creation of the work are gathered.

On the other hand, the term bibliography is also used to refer to the science or technique that is dedicated exclusively to studying the systematic description and classification of books and other written materials.

The ways in which a bibliography can be classified are very diverse, among the most recurrent we find the enumerative, analytical, descriptive and textual.

A bibliography will be made up of several elements ... the source, which is that place (book / text / document) from which the information to be cited is extracted. Generally, it appears on the cover of the work, while when it does not have it, it will be necessary to look for it on the cover, the back cover, the back cover or any other part of the book in which the authorship data appears. Another element is the citation, which are the references of other authors or works incorporated into the document that is made. When it comes to verbatim quotations, a part of the content of a work is the one that will be transcribed as it appears in the original and always in quotation marks, so, in these cases, the references go after the quotation marks.

Bibliographic references should be conveniently reviewed at the foot of the page or at the end of a chapter of the work, as appropriate. This procedure can be materialized in three different ways, through numbers, citation in notes, and author and year citations.
