The laboratory aims to teach the tools useful for carrying out a bibliographic search through the use of search engines and bibliographic databases. The laboratory also intends to explain the structure of a scientific article, the method of citing a reference within a text and at the end of a text, and teaches the use of bibliographic management software such as Endnote or Mendelay.

The Program is divided into 5 parts:
- Structure of a scientific article
- Bibliographic research
- Bibliographic databases
- Structure and style of a quote within the text and at the end of the text
- Use of bibliographic management software
