ASU English 1102 Bibliography Guidelines and Template
The second phase of your research project—after the topic proposal (TP) is the bibliography.
1. Your bibliography must contain at least five credible sources. Here are some credible sources in
order of importance (the closer to the bottom of the list, the less suitable for serious academic
research):
a. Books on your topic, written by experts on the subject. Can be print or e-books.
b. Scholarly articles written by experts. You can find such articles in academic journals at
libraries or online at ASU’s libraries. Ask a librarian for help.
c. Articles found online (as the result of a Google search) but written by experts.
d. Articles published on .org, .edu, and .gov Websites.
e. Articles published in credible magazines and newspapers.
f. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. (references in which headers are organized
alphabetically) are credible sources but CANNOT be one of your five sources.
2. Non-credible sources are (these you cannot use):
a. Sources that do not reveal their authors.
b. Wikipedia.org (it does not list authors)
c. .com Websites are NOT allowed, unless they are affiliated by credible newspapers
(newyorktimes.com), magazines (forbes.com), and television stations (cnn.com). (The
sites in parentheses are examples; you can use others as long as they are credible.)
d. There are some college-paper selling Websites, such as shmoop.com, essays123.com,
sparknotes.com, and others. I hope you do not even consider visiting these sites!
3. Use page 455 of our textbook to evaluate Websites you find as a result of simple Google search.
4. Look below for the bibliography template.
