Write the heading "Works Cited" on a new page, without quotation marks. Center it.
Type the author's last name first to begin an entry, then add a comma, the first name or initials and a period. For example: Smith, Bob C.
Add other names with the first name first, if an entry has multiple authors. Separate authors by commas, using "and" between the last two. For example: Smith, Bob C., Joe Johnson, and Jane Jones.
Type the title in full and in italics. End with a period.
Leave five spaces at the beginning of the second and each following if an entry runs on to more than one line. This is called a hanging or reverse indent because the first line of the each entry is not indented, but subsequent lines are.
Type the city of publication, a colon, the name of the publisher, a comma and the year of publication. For example: Boston: Gazelle Press, 2011.
Type three dashes and a period instead of the author's name on a new entry if you are citing more than one work by the same author. The author's name goes only the first entry.
Cite journals, newspapers and magazines as above, but add the title of the article in quotation marks before the name of the publication in italics. Separate them with a period. After the publication title, add a comma followed by the date of publication or the issue number. For example: Mathematics Innovation Magazine, Jan. 2011.
Add entries in alphabetical order according to author, so "Adams" before "Brown," for example, and "Jones, Bill," before "Jones, David."
Type the authors' names as you would in a book entry.
Type the title of the web page or article in quotation marks then the name of the website in italics. For example: Smith, Mark. "Overview of Historical Methods." History Today.
Add the name of the publisher, the date of publication and "Web" to indicate a website. For example: History Web Network, Nov. 30 2010. Web.
Add the date you accessed the website followed by a period.
Write "n.d." for "no date" or "n.p." for "no publisher" if the information isn't available.
