Do you mean a sample “Works Cited” list (bibliography) for a general research paper on social media, or do you want sources for a specific focus (mental health, misinformation, politics, platform governance, marketing, methods, etc.)? Also which citation style do you need (APA, MLA, Chicago)?
Below is a ready-to-use sample bibliography (APA 7) covering major topics and high-quality sources you can use or adapt. If you tell me your focus and style I can tailor it (or convert to MLA/Chicago) and create an annotated bibliography.

- Twitter / X API documentation; Facebook Graph API documentation; YouTube Data API documentation — use these for methods/data access in empirical projects.
How I can help next
- Narrow the topic (e.g., mental health, political polarization, misinformation, platform governance, advertising/influencer marketing, methodology).
- Convert the list to MLA or Chicago style.
- Produce an annotated bibliography (short summary + why each source is useful).
- Add more recent papers (I can search 2019–2025 material if you need very recent studies).
