Creating a Reference List

  • Provide a list on a separate page of all sources quoted or paraphrased in-text.
  • Include all references cited in-text in the Reference List.
  • Indent the second and subsequent lines of the reference.
  • Arrange alphabetically by the surname of the first author.
  • If there are two works by the same author, arrange by year of publication.
  • If the item has no author, order in the Reference List alphabetically by the first significant word in the title.
