A reference page is a list of sources that have been cited in an essay, paper, report, or any other type of document. It is also sometimes referred to as a Works Cited page. The purpose of a reference page is to allow readers to identify and locate the sources that are cited in the document.

Here are some points to keep in mind when creating a reference page:

Make sure to include all sources that are cited in the document.
Include only sources that have been cited in the document – do not include sources that have not been cited in the document.
Make sure to list sources in alphabetical order.
Use the same format for all sources – for example, if referencing a book, use the same citation format for all books referenced in the document.
Include all of the necessary elements for each source – use a style guide to make sure that all the required elements are present.
Include page numbers for quotes and paraphrases – make sure to indicate the page number that a quote or paraphrase was taken from.

Creating a reference page is an important part of writing academic and scientific documents. Making sure to adhere to the guidelines above will ensure that your reference page is accurate and complete.

A reference page, also known as a "References" or "Works Cited" page, is a list of sources cited in an academic paper or research project. Reference pages provide the full bibliographic citations for each source listed, including the author, title, year of publication, and any other relevant information like publisher and location. Depending on the style of paper, there may also be a list of works consulted that were not actually used in the paper. Reference pages are an important part of an academic paper or research project, as they give credit to the sources used to research the topic. It also allows readers to access the source material used to conduct the research.
