Detailed explanation-1: -No, a reference list only provides the list of references that were cited in the main text. If additional literature was useful for the research, it should be cited accordingly.
Detailed explanation-2: -You can mention the title of a book without needing to cite it on the References page. Example: Dr. Seuss wrote many great children’s books such as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and Horton Hears a Who. This does not need a citation.
Detailed explanation-3: -When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
