Bibliog

/ˈbɪbliˌɑːɡ/ noun

Definition

Short for 'bibliography'; an abbreviated form used informally in academic writing and research notes.

Etymology

Direct abbreviation of 'bibliography,' from Greek 'biblion' (book) plus 'graphia' (writing). This shortened form appears frequently in academic notes, citations, and informal scholarly communication.

Kelly Says

Just as scholars abbreviate 'intro' for introduction, they abbreviate 'bibliog' for bibliography in notes and outlines. These shortcuts reveal the informal, compressed language scholars use among themselves—very different from formal publication.
