I use a snippet like this to show literature used in a specific project. I use it together with the great Citations plugin that creates literature notes with metadata like author, title etc. in the YAML frontmatter. When I use a specific source in the project, I tag it with e.g. #literature/thesis. This way I can create something like a preliminary bibliography for a project (translated to English from German):
```dataview
table authors as Author, title as Title, year as Year
from #literature/thesis
sort authors
```
