When authors borrow information they credit their sources. In-text citations or footnotes correspond to a list of sources at the end of the work. This list of sources may be called references, works cited, or a bibliography.
Mining a reference list means looking up these sources for yourself.
Careful crediting of sources is more common for academic or scholarly work. Popular sources, such as newspapers and magazines, may lack citations or have less-complete citations that made finding the source difficult.
