Rules for Works Cited Page Entries must be DOUBLE SPACED Entries must be alphabetized by the first word in the listing. Usually this is the author’s last name (i.e. Jones). When no author is available, it will be the first word of the title. When the first word of a title is “The” or “A”, it is placed at the end of the title, after a comma. First line of each entry should be flush with the left-hand margin; any subsequent lines should be indented (as shown, above). This may seem strange, but it does make sense. Your reader will be looking for the first word of your listing (i.e. Jones), and reverse indentation makes that first word stand out clearly in your list. Periods are used to separate the author’s name, title, and place of publication A colon (:) is used between the place of publication and the name of the publisher A comma is used between the publisher and the date of publication A period is used at the end of the listing, following the date of publication (see example, above).

Internal Citation Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited List.

In-text Citations for Print Sources with No Known Author When a source has no known author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the title in quotation marks if it's a short work (e.g. articles) or italicize it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire websites) and provide a page number. We see so many global warming hotspots in North America likely because this region has “more readily accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study environmental change . . . ” (“Impact of Global Warming” 6).
