Update 1 I use biblatex and bibber to create my bibliography. the reference section contain a list of the articles referenced. How can the reference section be changed that the reference appear in table. Is the reference section by hand the corresponding latex code will look like
\section{Reference}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{||c|X||}\hline\hline
cite1 & Title, author etc\\ \hline
cite2 & Title, author etc\\ \hline
cite3 & Title, author etc\\ \hline \hline
\end{tabularx}
The string citeX can be the normal string [citeX] , or of the form X.Y.Z where X,Y,Z are number.
Update 2 (and 3)
From style=authoryear extra block in front of bibliography list the MWE is modified to

.bibentries. When we compile the code you post, we should reproduce a minimal version of your current bibliography. The thing to then do is to tell us what needs to be changed in how it looks and not how you think that might be achieved, because there may be alternatives to a table which you've not considered. – cfr May 26 '16 at 00:59.bstfiles. – cfr May 26 '16 at 01:50\documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib} \begin{document} \nocite{*} \printbibliography \end{document}– Johannes_B May 26 '16 at 06:14biblatexdoes not set the bibliography in a tabular environment by default, what you get with thenumericandalphabeticstyles might come very close to what you want, though (minus the horizontal and vertical lines, which I would find rather distracting and very unusual in a bibliography).
