Bibliography or References in a Research Article or Thesis
The Bibliography> or References section of a research article or thesis lists all the sources cited throughout the document. It provides full citation details, allowing readers to locate and verify the sources. This section typically includes books, journal articles, reports, websites, and other resources referenced in the study.
The format of the citations depends on the chosen citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago).

- Supporting claims: Providing evidence for the research.
- Enabling readers: Allowing them to explore sources further.
