Bibliography

A bibliography contains citations to information used to create the final research product.  These sources of information are typically placed at the end of the research in a separate section, and used to justify the validity of the research presented in the project. In today's world of information, it is necessary to display sources so others can feel confident that the research is credible. Additionally, a bibliography not only provides credence to your research, but also allows others the opportunity to utilize your sources for similar research.
