A document bibliography (hereinafter, the Bibliography) is the section of a report or another document that contains numerically listed citations, not quotations, to all the books referred to in the document. The Bibliography is a conditional part of report's back matter; it is included when references are needed to be amplified. When the Bibliography is included, it functions as a part of document's structural metadata.
Description
The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,
- A conditional section, a bibliography lists additional sources of information not referenced in the text. If a bibliography is included in addition to the list of references (part of the text), the bibliography follows the appendix(es). A bibliography is unnecessary if the references in the text constitute a complete list of sources of information. Bibliographic entries are usually arranged alphabetically by author/creator, but any logical order may be used if it is explained and is consistent. In print publications (or electronic reports that maintain the "page" look and feel), the bibliography section begins on a new page and is titled, "Bibliography."
Applicable rules
According to the ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard,
- Align entries in a bibliography flush left without paragraph indentation. If a bibliographic entry runs longer than a single line, uniformly indent subsequent runover lines. Alternatively, maintain a flush left placement and enter a blank line between bibliographic entries.
