When you write a research paper, you will need to include information about the sources you used. This information is used to create the citation which is collected in the bibliography.
Guides on formating research papers (including bibliographies) are known as style guides or manuals. Different disciplines require different style manuals. Make sure you use the style guide recommended by your Professor.

Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association by Zotero is a free, easy-to-use, open source tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Originally created to work only with the Firefox browser, it can now be used with Chrome, Safari, and Opera (with the appropriate connector).
