Your list of full citations starts on a new page at the end of your paper (continue page numbering from paper body), with the title: References, centered one inch from the top. Basic tips:
- Every source cited in your text should point to an entry in your References, and vice versa.
- Entries are alphabetized by author last name (or title, skipping initial articles like A, An, The, if no author) and aligned left.
- Hanging Indent is used for each entry (2nd and subsequent lines for each entry indented 0.5 inches).
- All text is double-spaced, same as rest of paper.
- Author names: last name first; first and middle initials follow (Kirk, J. T.).
- Alphabetize works with no known author by their title.
- Article, web site/page or book titles: capitalize ONLY the first word in the title and subtitle, and proper nouns (Trade between North Korea and China: Firm-level analysis).
- Title of journal (and journal volume number), website or book in italics.
- Journal name in full, using capitalization and punctuation as used within journal (Anthropology & Education Quarterly)
- Location for online sources: use a DOI if available (usually for many online journal articles from the library), otherwise use a URL (for eBooks, this replaces the publisher info)
Example of a journal article from an online database in the library (note: hanging indent not shown here but must be included):
DeCamp, W., and Christopher F. (2017, February). The impact of degree of exposure to violent video games, family background, and other factors on youth violence. Journal of Youth & Adolescence, 46(2), 388-400. doi:10.1007/s10964-016-0561-8.
