No, the "bibliography" and "credits" are not the same thing. They serve different purposes in different contexts.
A bibliography is a list of sources or references that were utilized or consulted in the creation of a project, paper, or research. It typically includes sources such as books, articles, websites, and other materials that were used to support the information presented in the work. A bibliography is important because it allows readers to locate and verify the sources you used, and also gives credit to the original authors or creators of the information you used.
On the other hand, "credits" typically refer to the acknowledgment given to people or organizations who have contributed to a creative work such as a movie, TV show, or video game. Credits usually appear at the end of the work and include the names of individuals involved in various roles, such as actors, directors, producers, writers, and other contributors. Credits are important as they highlight the people behind the scenes who played a role in the creation of the work.
So, while both a bibliography and credits can provide acknowledgement and give credit, a bibliography is used in academic or research contexts, while credits are used in creative works to acknowledge the contributors.
