Rule | Example |
The word "References" should be bolded and centered at the top of the page in Title Case. This list contains all the sources cited in the body of your document. References should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work. |
|
Use an "Annotated Bibliography" to list all sources that were used to generate ideas or inform the content of your document but were not directly cited. You may include suggested readings in the Bibliography. Your document can have both a "References" list and a "Bibliography." Annotated Bibliography looks like a Reference List but contains an annotation after each source cited. |
|
References should follow the specific formatting described for each source type. |
The format for Journal Articles & Preprints differs from how a Website should be formatted. |
All reference entries should be double-spaced. All reference entries should be in "hanging indent" format. This means that the first line of the reference is flush against the left margin of the document; and subsequent lines are indented 7 spaces (0.5 inch or 1.27 cm). Do not add an extra line between references. The hanging indent makes the references distinguishable. |
