 Ways of Acknowledging
• ‘References’ and ‘Works Cited’ mean the
same thing – they list the sources you have
actually cited or mentioned in your document.
• ‘Bibliography’ it is a lists of relevant sources
that you have consulted or are aware of, but
not used in the document.
• Providing a bibliography helps readers who
may not be familiar with different works in the
field.

sequence of identifying details rather than in
substance. Some of the well known styles are:
• APA Style,
