Format the reference list

The reference list should begin on a new page at the end of your paper, titled simply "reference" (without the quotation marks).

  • Include reference only for works that you have actually cited in your paper.

  • Alphabetize the entries, by author's last name.

  • If your list includes several works by the same author, arrange them chronologically and repeat the author's name at the beginning of each reference.

  • Double-space all lines, and indent second and subsequent lines of each entry.
