What is the difference between a reference list and a bibliography?

Answer

A reference list contains only a list of the sources that you have cited in the text of your work. 

A bibliography may contain other sources that you have read in researching the topic, but that you have not directly referred to in your text.

If you are unsure which you should include, check with your tutor.
