Defined
While parenthetical documentation usually includes the
author, publication date, and
page number of the source,
the full bibliographical entry
of the source must appear
on the References Page.
The References page follows the last
page of the main text. It includes all
sources that are cited and can be
referenced or recovered by a reader.
Because personal communications
cannot be recovered, do not include
them in the reference list.
Format
Center “References” at the top of the page
and begin entries on the following line.
Reference entries are listed alphabetically
according to author.
If there are two or more works by the same
author, then list by year of publication.
If two or more works by the same author
have the same publication date, then list
these references by title.
Alignment
The first line of each entry is flushed with
the left margin. Any subsequent lines
of each entry are indented (also known
as a hanging indent).
