Setting Up the Page

• Begin your reference list on a separate page at the end of your paper, under the label References (with no quotation marks, underlining, etc.). Center this heading at the top of the page.
• Citations appear alphabetically by author's last name. (If the work has no author listed, alphabetize it by its title).
