Publisher's Synopsis
A reference is a reference to a source. All the more exactly, a reference is a shortened alphanumeric articulation implanted in the body of a scholarly work that signifies a passage in the bibliographic references segment of the work to recognize the significance of crafted by others to the subject of conversation where the reference shows up.
By and large, the blend of both the in-body reference and the bibliographic section is normally considered a reference (though bibliographic passages without help from anyone else are not).
