These terms are explained here: Citation: It is an act or practice of mentioning/attributing/indicating a specific source or quote material in the body of your paper. MLA, Vancouver referencing styles, and American Psychological Association (APA) are common styles or formats of citation. Nevertheless any citation styles in general include the details of the author, year of publication and page number. In-text citations are always recommended when referring to a sizeable chunk in the write-up using round or square brackets; “(…)” “[…]”. The use of quotation marks is also suggested when a specific quote is included.References: It is the list of the sources explicitly used in completing the write-up or the manuscript. It includes detailed depiction of the author, journal/proceeding/book, publisher, publication year, volume, issue no., and page no. (or date of download in case of multimedia sources).Bibliography: This is a list of all the sources that are used in completion of the manuscript but may have not been directly used in the contents of the assignment/assignment. It is the list of all the references published/unpublished which have provided background information and provided better understanding of the topic/concept but are not explicitly mentioned in the manuscript. The Bibliography is obviously bigger than the reference list.
The Proofreading Step
Published in Marialuisa Aliotta, Mastering Academic Writing in the Sciences, 2018
A key feature of academic writing is the presence of citations, and for good reasons. Citations are necessary to show that you have consulted the work of others and are familiar with the ongoing debate in your field. They also add weight and credibility to your statements and provide the reader with an opportunity to check the accuracy of the information you present. Finally, they serve to acknowledge other people’s work and to avoid plagiarism.

The Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection, the most reliable database (Yang et al. 2013), is used to collect the information for the bibliometric analysis of 30 years of performance of IJCIM. The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) initially formed this database from the concept of Eugene Garfield, the father of citation indexing of academic literature (Jacso 2010). Later, Thomson and Reuters owned this database, and presently, Clarivate Analytics operates this online subscription-based scientific citation indexing database. Web of Science now has indexing coverage from the year 1900 to the present, including more than 18,000 high impact journals, over 180,000 conference proceedings, and over 80,000 books from around the world. The present bibliometric study collects citation data for all IJCIM publications from the WoS. Collected data are classified and summarised through both quantitative and qualitative methods. To analyse the collected data both in quantitative and qualitative ways, the present study uses different bibliometric indicators. The total number of papers as a quantitative parameter indicates productivity of the journal. Qualitative parameters such as the total number of citations, cites per paper and h-index (Hirsch 2005) are used to measure the influence of the journal. No universal parameters, which can measure all characteristics of a bibliometric study, accepted by all exist. Some people prefer bibliometric productivity indicators, whereas other people might prefer quality indicators. The h-index is an indicator that combines publications with citations. If a variable has an h-index of N, then there are N papers inside the set of papers considered that have received at least N citations or more. Moreover, several citation thresholds such as more than 100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and one citation are presented in this study to identify the number of quality publications. These citation thresholds provide information about the percentage of the total number of publications that received more citations than a particular threshold; for example, if m publications among the total of n publications in a year have received more than 50 citations. Then, this year has (50 m/n)% publications that received more than 50 citations in this year. Threshold indicators help to prepare a comparative study of quality contributions. In a publication, citations are used to acknowledge words and ideas from other sources. We use a total citation index to prepare the list of the top 50 contributed papers in IJCIM. Leading authors, institutions and countries are listed based on the total publication index.
