Preparing Your Works Cited List
Completion requirements
View
This list, placed at the end of your essay, should include all the sources you quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate any sources you cite. Each source you cite in your essay must appear in your Works Cited List.
General Rules
- Arrange your sources in alphabetical order by the last name of the author.
- List the author by last name, follow it with a comma, and then first name.
- If a source has more than one author, invert only the first author’s name, then continue listing other authors.
- If a source has no author, put it in the list by title, but leave out A, The, or An.
- Indent second and third lines.
