Formatting a Paper
In-Text Citations
When using MLA format, follow the author-page number method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number you are using for the source should appear in the text, like, for example, (Jones 201). One complete reference for each source should appear in the bibliography at the end of the paper.
Basic Reference Formats
Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. It should have the same one-inch margins and last name, page number header as the rest of your paper. Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited or put them in quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page. Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inches to create a hanging indent.
