Plagiarism

Works Cited is sometimes referred to as References. The terms mean the same thing. Each is an alphabetical list of works cited, or works to which you have made reference. Works Cited is generally used when citing sources using MLA style, while the title References is used when citing sources using APA style.

Works Cited and Bibliography are not the same. In Works Cited you only list items you have actually cited. In a Bibliography (literally, description of books) you list all of the material you have consulted in preparing your essay whether or not you have actually cited the work.

Entries in Works Cited, References, or Bibliography are listed in alphabetical order by last names of authors and should be the last page of your paper.
