General rules to follow:
- This list, alphabetized by authors' last
names, should appear at the end of your essay. It provides
the information necessary for a reader to locate any sources
you cite in the essay.
- Authors' names are inverted (last name
first); if a work has more than one author, invert only
the first author's name, follow it with a comma, then continue
listing the rest of the authors.
- The first line of each entry in your list
should be flush left. Subsequent lines should be indented
one-half inch. This is known as a hanging indent.
- All references should be double-spaced.
- Capitalize each word in the titles of articles,
books, etc. This rule does not apply to articles, short
prepositions, or conjunctions unless one is the first word
of the title or subtitle. Underline or italicize titles
of books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and films.
Citing Sources within
your paper:
Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize,
or otherwise refer to the work of another, you are required
to cite its source, either by way of parenthetical documentation
or by means of a footnote. Be consistent in the documentation
style you choose. For clarity, use a signal phrase at the
beginning of the quote: As Blinksworth states,
Here are some examples of citation styles:
Chicago Style*:
| Parenthetical
Citation:
