A bibliography is a list of all the sources that have been consulted (whether cited in the paper or not) in the process of researching a topic and writing a paper. It is usually found at the end of the publication and lists the references in alphabetical order. A reference list consists only of references that have been cited in the research paper.
An annotated bibliography provides a concise account of the available research on a given topic. It is a list of citations, each followed by a short paragraph (the annotation) of about 150 words commenting on the sources cited.
