The purposes of a bibliography or a works-cited list are:
a to credit an author’s original idea or information
b to avoid plagiarism
c to organize source material
e to direct readers to sources
Explanation:
The addition of a bibliography or a works-cited list in any kind of written material covers the four functions that are directly connected since by citing the source of information that was used to collect information we give credit to the original investigator or author of the material and we avoid plagiarism by using other person's words as ours, it also helps to organize and direct reader to the sources for further research if they wanted to have access to the full source not only what has been presented in the paper.
