Presentation of Reference List Reference list is a separate list at the end of your paper that lists the sources you have referred to. Heading: The word References should be centred at the top of the page. Reference list entries should be in alphabetical order by either the author or title of each reference. All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
