![]() ![]() The process in Microsoft Word is similar to creating footnotes, endnotes or indexing, and has three steps: adding the sources as a citation, citing the citation, and then generating the bibliography. This can save a lot of time and help ensure the references are accurate and correct. However, if you carry out the first step of inputting your sources, Word can create and update a bibliography automatically. You can create this manually but it is quite time-consuming and then you can run into problems if you need to update the bibliography later. A bibliography is a list of references and it comprises “citations”, to include the title, author, publisher, date of publication, etc. Let’s start with what a bibliography is and how it is made up. Have you ever written or typed a research paper or university dissertation, either for yourself or for your boss? If so, like me you might remember the painful process of including a bibliography, or list of references, both of which are terms for a list of the sources used to research and write the paper, whether that is a book, article or website.
