bibliography (including newspapers and periodicals)

I can't find any instances of bibliohemerography or bibliohemerographic in genuine English sources; all those that occur seem to be calques of foreign languages, nearly always Spanish (including the iadb document, which is Guatemalan). I would say that for practical purposes it doesn't exist in English.

Frankly I think it would be enough just to say bibliography, since a bibliography commonly includes "hemerographic" sources (that is, articles from newspapers or other periodicals) where these are cited. But to make sure, you could say "bibliography (including newspapers and periodicals)". That, to me, would be the natural way to say this.

The point is, I think, that in Spanish "bibliografía", in its strictest and narrowist meaning, just refers to books, though nearly everyone includes periodicals in the category of "bibliografía" (and the DRAE itself refers to "libros y escritos"). In English, this narrow meaning of "bibliography" as applying to books only, is sometimes found (Oxford Online defines it as "A list of the books referred to in a scholarly work, usually printed as an appendix", for example), but this is unusual; Merriam-Webster defines it as "a list of the books, magazines, articles, etc., that are mentioned in a text". So really, "bibliography", as normally used, would include material from periodicals, both scholarly and journalistic.

Thanks, Danik :)
agree lugoben : De acuerdo al MLA Handbook, bibliograhy fue sustituido por Obras Citadas/Consultadas. No es necesario reportar periódicos y publicaciones periódicas porque están incluidos.
