Sample Bibliography

Formatting Your Bibliography

The bibliography should appear at the end of your paper. Begin the list on a new page.

The title Bibliography should be either left justified or centered on the page.

The hanging indent for each reference makes the alphabetical sequence more obvious.

The entries should appear in a single alphabetical sequence, arranged by the author's surname, or title if no author is given.
