Bibliography and Citation Guide

Bibliography is the list of the sources used for a research paper or homework. It is attached at the end of the paper in alphabetic order. In the case that a work including in book, internet, journal, database or newspaper produced by the others shall be used in our works, it is our legal and moral liability to mention the owner of the workpiece. If you pretend the citation is your own idea, it is a crime. We as Marmara College use MLA (Modern Language Association of America) for bibliography. Teachers are liable to warn the students to obey the bibliography rules for the papers. It is forbidden to use the sources which are not reliable in the papers.

 Bibliography Preparation

It is a must to state the bibliographic information (name of the author, name of the work, publishing place, publishing house, publishing date etc.) in relation to the citation and references in the papers in the bibliography. The first letter of the book or other sources must be capital and written in italic. It is required to determine the place where the sources used are published (printed, web, pdf, CD, DVD, TV etc.)

Example: If the source is a book which has a writer:

Author’s Surname, name. Book’s name. Publishing place: Publishing house, publishing year. Edition

Tekin, Latife. Sevgili Arsız Ölüm. İstanbul: İletişim Yayınları, 2014. Baskı.
