Type the word "References" at the top of a new page, centered.

All entries should be double-spaced, unless your assignment instructs you otherwise.

Although the current Publication Manual advises standard (five spaces, first line) indention for the references list, this is primarily designed to make typesetting easier; the typeset version will have hanging indents (first line flush left, following lines five spaces indent).

If your final version will be turned in for a grade rather than publication, we recommend that you use hanging indents for enhanced readability. We have formatted our sample references list with hanging indents.

Capitalize only the first word of titles of books and articles and the first word after a colon.

Use a comma to separate

• surnames from initials
• a newspaper title from p. or pp.
• a journal title from volume number
• a volume number from page numbers
• when given, an issue number from page numbers
• (Ed.) from book title
• city of publication from state
