WORKS CITED How to do it properly!

What is the Works Cited page? This is the page in your paper (or research plan) that lists all the resources that you cited in your paper. It does NOT list all of the sources that you read, just those you CITED.

Information from Basic Paper Format Packet Your Works Cited List The Works Cited list should appear at the end of your paper. It is also part D of the ISEF paperwork research plan. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and be able to read any sources you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your Works Cited list; likewise, each entry in the Works Cited list must be cited in your text.

Information from Basic Paper Format Packet List Format Begin your Works Cited list on a separate page from the text of the paper. Label the works cited list Works Cited (do not underline the words Works Cited nor put them in quotation marks) Center the words Works Cited at the top of the page - no more than 14pt in font size.

Information form Basic Paper Format Packet Make the first line of each entry in your list flush left with the margin. Subsequent lines in each entry should be indented one-half inch. This is known as a hanging indent. Double space all entries, with no skipped spaces between entries.

Information form Basic Paper Format Packet Keep in mind that underlining and italics are equivalent; you should select one or the other to use throughout. Be consistent. Alphabetize the list of works cited by the first word (unless “The” or “A”) in each entry (usually the author's last name). Do not number or put bullets before each entry.

Format of Works Cited page Written on a separate page in the paper. Follow the MLA style. You must have a minimum of five sources. You must have a variety of sources (no more than half can be websites).

How do I Cite a Source? 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. If you have cited more than one work by a particular author, order them alphabetically by title, and use three hyphens in place of the author's name for every entry after the first. When an author appears both as the sole author of a text and as the first author of a group, list solo-author entries first. If no author is given for a particular work, alphabetize by the title of the piece and use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations.

How do I Cite a Source? 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. Use quotation marks around the titles of articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers. Also use quotation marks for the titles of short stories, book chapters, poems, and songs. List page numbers efficiently, when needed. If you refer to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through 250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as 225-50.

MLA Style MLA Style is geared more towards humanities writing than science. We are using the 7th version. If you use an on-line style writer, be sure to check it afterwards to make sure the works was cited correctly.
