bibliographic style

Bibliographic style refers to the standardized way of formatting references and citations for sources used in research or writing. It dictates how details like author names, titles, publication dates, and pages are presented, ensuring consistency and clarity. Different styles, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago, have specific rules for organizing this information. Using a consistent bibliographic style helps readers easily locate and verify sources, giving your work credibility and scholarly integrity. Essentially, it’s a set of guidelines that makes citing sources uniform and professional across texts.
