Here's a breakdown:
* Alphabetical Order: The entries are arranged alphabetically, starting with the first author's last name. If there are multiple works by the same author, they are then ordered alphabetically by the title.
* Multiple Authors: When listing works with two authors, include both names in the order they appear on the source. For works with three or more authors, include the first author's name followed by "et al."
* Formatting: The specific format for the reference page (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) dictates the specific details of how each entry is written, including punctuation and capitalization.
Example:
APA Style:
* Smith, J. D., & Jones, A. B. (2022). The impact of social media on mental health. Journal of Social Psychology, 120(4), 55-67.
* Williams, C. (2021). The power of positive thinking. New York: Penguin Books.
* Wilson, M., Smith, J., & Brown, K. (2020). The effects of stress on academic performance. Education Quarterly, 93(2), 15-28.
Remember, always follow the specific style guidelines of the organization or institution that requires the reference page.
