In a bibliography what is written immediately after the name of author?

In a bibliography, immediately after the author's name, you typically find the year of publication of the work.

Here's a general format:

* Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year). *Title of work*. Publication details (e.g., Publisher, City, or Journal name, Volume, Issue).

Examples:

* Smith, J. (2023). *The History of Science*. Cambridge University Press.

* Brown, A. L. (2018). "The impact of technology on education." *Journal of Educational Research*, 10, 15-28.

Note: There are different styles for bibliographies (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago), and each may have slightly different formatting rules. But the author's name and year of publication are typically the first two elements in any style.
