Guidelines for Formatting a Bibliography
- Your list of sources is called a “Bibliography” or “References” page.
- Begin your Bibliography/References on a separate page from your text.
- Sources are listed in alphabetical order, according to the first word in each source entry.
- Leave one blank line between each reference
- Begin each entry at the left margin, and indent any additional lines one‐half inch.
- For works with two or three authors, write out each author’s name. If the work has four or more authors, provide the first author’s full name plus “et al.”.
- If the work has no author, list it by title.
- Use DOIs instead of URLs whenever possible.
