Here's the proper formatting for a reference page:
* Double-space all entries.
* Indent the second and subsequent lines of each entry by 0.5 inches (or 1.27 cm).
* Use hanging indents, meaning the first line of each entry is flush with the left margin, and subsequent lines are indented.
Example:
Smith, J. (2020). The impact of social media on mental health. *Journal of Psychology*, 52(1), 45-58.
Why double-spacing is important:
* Readability: Double-spacing makes the page easier to read and scan for specific information.
* Professionalism: It's the standard format used in academic and professional writing.
Make sure to check your specific style guide (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) for any minor variations in formatting requirements.
