Formatting Your Works Cited Page


Double-Spacing

Should continue– no extra spaces between citations (Word sometimes adds this automatically. Google “remove extra spacing from paragraphs on Word” to remove this.

 

List Authors Alphabetically

By the first word of the citation.

Descartes, René

De Sica, Vittorio

 

Multiple Works by One Author

Use ---. in place of the author’s name (see The Cat in the Hat, in  example above)

 

Page Number

 The Works Cited page is numbered along with the whole paper.

 

Second Line of the Citation is Indented

One-half inch. This “hanging” indent can be done in MS word:

  1. Select and right click on the block of text
  2.  From the pop-up menu, click on Paragraph>Special>Hanging

In Google Docs highlight text – go to: Format>Align and Indent>Indentation Options>Special Hanging

 

Works Cited

Words should be centered one inch from the top of the page.
