Which item should appear first in a bibliography reference?

The item that should appear first in a bibliography reference depends on the citation style you're using. However, in most styles, the author's last name comes first.

Here's why:

* Alphabetical Organization: Bibliographies are typically organized alphabetically by the first word in the reference, which is usually the author's last name.

* Easy Retrieval: Placing the author's last name first makes it easier for readers to find specific references quickly.
