What is a BibTeX file?
A BibTeX file contains bibliographic data in BibTeX format and usually has the file extension *.bib. A BibTeX file can be viewed and edited using plain text editors, and many reference management programs support both the import and export of files in BibTeX format.
What is a reference list in APA style?
American Psychological Association (APA) citation style was created in 1929 and it is used as a manual for formatting written text. The most recent edition is the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual. Typical APA-styled documents include a title page, fonts such as sans serif or serif, double spacing, one-inch margins, and page numbers. In addition, APA requires styling in-text citations in the author-year format as well as adding a separate page with the heading "reference list".
