Use the correct format for every citation. Regardless of the writing style used, the citation format for each reference material will be different. Refer to the proper writing style handbook for the correct format for each resource material because the citation format changes according to the writing style.
Place all the citations in a word document in alphabetical order, if possible, according to author's last name. Start with the first letter of the last name. If there is more than one author with the same first letter in their last name, go onto the second letter of the last name. Continue placing the authors alphabetically by the first and second letter of the last name.
Do not repeat an author's name more than once. If more than one resource material is from the same author, use --- in place of the author's name after the first citation, then alphabetize the author's works by title.
Alphabetize titles if authors are not provided. Some resource materials will not have authors; therefore, the title should be used to be able to alphabetize that particular resource material. If the first word of a title is "the," "an," and "a" do not consider it when alphabetizing the resource material.
Re-check that every entry was alphabetized correctly. Resource materials, regardless if there is an author or not, should be alphabetized together in a single works-cited page.
