Writing Your Works Cited

 

Look at the examples on the next page to see what a full “works cited” page looks like.

 

Step One:  Alphabetize your source slips by the first word in the entry.

 

Step Two:  Setup your paper margins.

  • Start with a new page
  • Set left and right margins at one inch.
  • Number each page with the number in the upper right-hand corner half an inch from the top and flush with the right margin.
  • Center the title, Works Cited, an inch from the top of the page.
  • Double-space between the title and the first entry.
  • Begin each entry flush with the left margin.
  • If an entry runs more than one line, indent the subsequent line or lines one-half inch (or five spaces if you are using a typewriter) from the left margin.

 

Step Three:  Write the first entry. 

  • If the entry needs more than one line, the second (and all other lines of the entry) are indented

            one-half inch (five spaces if you are using a typewriter) from the left margin. 

·         This means that the first line “hangs out” over the other lines of the entry. 

·         Do not number your entries. 

 

Step Four:  Double-space the entire list, both between and within entries.

                                                         

Step Five:  Continue adding as you did with the first entry.
