Both bibliography and references appear at the end of a document. But bibliography comes after the reference list. A bibliography may contain all those that have appeared in the reference list but it may also contain additional works. Both bibliography and references are arranged alphabetically.

agree  Mario Freitas: Muriel, in this case, it does not refer to the literature, but to the bibliography section of the document, i.e., they are comparing the information in the document with the literature mentioned in the bibliography, IMO.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Much better!

agree  Mario Freitas: "Check against" is much better, but I think "existing literature" is incorrect because the text refers to the bibliography in the very document.
