Word, Microsoft’s word processor, allows you to include a bibliography in your document. It is a function that helps you demonstrate the credibility and transparency of the text you have created and makes it easier for you to correctly attribute the sources you have used, giving your readers direct access to previously cited references.
In this way, by adding bibliography, you reinforce the rigor of your content, avoid plagiarism and ensure that your ideas are supported by verifiable sources, which adds depth to the work you wrote.
In the following article, we guide you so that you can easily integrate bibliographies into your academic or scientific writings.
