It depends on the style asked for. One is the APA (American Psychological Association) style. The other most used one is MLA. Either of their sites lists specific rules. Each is very different, and very specific about how to do a reference page (which is what you are doing when you are listing works cited).
Every author you cite in your paper must be in the reference list, and vice versa. So check and see what the specific teacher or professor wants, in terms of style. APA and MLA also have very good manuals in hardcopy. There is also a style known as the "Chicago Style", but it is not used as much as the other two. Again, it all depends on your subject and course requirements.
A bibliography is a list of all sources consulted when researching. A list of works cited is a subset of the bibliography, and includes only those sources actually cited in the body of the paper.
The correct term is "works cited." It is a list of sources (books, articles, websites, etc.) that you directly referenced in your work or research.
A reference list and a works cited page both list the sources used in academic writing, but they are formatted differently. A reference list is used in APA style and includes all sources cited in the text, while a works cited page is used in MLA style and lists only the sources actually cited in the paper.

In-text citations and a Works Cited list are the two types of MLA citations needed to properly credit sources in research papers. In-text citations are brief references within the text that point to the full citation in the Works Cited list at the end of the paper. The Works Cited list provides detailed information about each source used in the research.
Maps in academic writing should be properly cited by including the map creator's name, the map title, the publication date, the map scale, and the source of the map. Additionally, the map should be referenced in the text and included in the list of references or works cited at the end of the paper.
The bibliography contains all the works that people accessed in the course of their research despite of whether they are cited within the document or not. Alternatively, the MLA works cited only contains the list of sources that were mentioned in the paper.

In academic writing, a works cited list is used in MLA style to list sources cited within the text, while a references list is used in APA style to list all sources consulted in the research process, whether cited or not.
The relationship between in-text citation and the work cited list is, in MLA style references are being cited in both sections. It means that both in-text and the work cited list cite references.
The Works Cited page is the list of references at the end of an MLA style essay.
