Works Cited Page

Basic Rules Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of

your research paper. It should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of your paper.

Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited or put them in quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page.

Alphabetize by author last name and/or title when appropriate. Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between

entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations five spaces

so that you create a hanging indent. List page numbers of sources efficiently, when needed. If you

refer to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as 225-50.

You must list the medium of the source (print, electronic, etc).
