Vancouver Referencing Guide: Reference V Bibliography

Reference list vs. Bibliography

In the Vancouver referencing style, references are listed at the end of your work, and are organised numerically in order of reference.

A reference list includes all works that have been referred to in the assignment.

A bibliography includes all the material consulted in writing your assignment even if you have not cited them within it.

Many people use these terms interchangeably so, if you are unsure about whether you need to include a bibliography as well as a reference list, ask your tutor.
