For example, if you have a source with the last name Anderson, another source with the last name Christiansen, and an authorless source with the first word in the article title “Big,” you’ll have to cut and paste the source starting with “Big” in between the sources by Anderson and Christiansen.

7. The whole page must have “hanging indent”: - All lines are indented EXCEPT for the first line of each source. - No extra space between each source. They are double-spaced EVENLY down the page. Works Cited Stallone 6 - You’ll have to do hanging indent manually by putting the cursor at the end of the first line of each source, hitting ENTER, and then TAB.

If the list has a source NOT mentioned in the essay, remove that source from the list. The list must ONLY include the sources that you mentioned in your essay.
