Placement<\/span><\/h2>\n

The References page is located at the end of the main body of the paper and begins at the top of a new page. Appendices, footnotes, and additional materials should follow after the References page.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

General Format<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like the rest of the paper, the References page should be double-spaced and typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt. The running head should appear flush with the upper left-hand corner of the page, and the page number should appear at the upper right-hand corner of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n

The title of the References page is capitalized and centered at the top of the page without any formatting, including bold, italics, underlining, or quotation marks. Avoid mislabeling the References page as \u201cWorks Cited,\u201d \u201cSources,\u201d or \u201cBibliography.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Entries<\/span><\/h2>\n

Each entry should be formatted as a hanging indentation: the first line of each citation should be flush with the left margin while each subsequent line of the citation is indented five spaces from the left margin. Alphabetize the entries in the References page based on the authors\u2019 last names (or the first word of a work\u2019s title, if a work does not name any authors). Though it will vary from source to source, the general structure of a print book citation is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Author Last Name, Initials. (Year of publication). Title of the work.<\/i> Publication city: Publishing Company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electronic sources generally require more information than print sources, such as a uniform resource locator (URL), a digital object identifier (DOI), or the date the source material was accessed.<\/span><\/p>","rendered":"
