- Reference List
At the end of your paper, combine all references into a "Reference List." If your in-text citations use the author-date format, organize your Reference List alphabetically by the author's last name. If your in-text citations are by number or superscript, organize your Reference List numerically.
Use a hanging indent and single space each entry.
