List References

Below are some guidelines you can


follow in listing your references:

1. Make sure that your references list


contains all of the works and
publications you used for your
research. All of the references that you
cited in the text itself must also be
included in your reference list.
2. Cite your sources completely. Aside
from providing the name of the
reference itself, you need to cite the
author of the work; the publisher of
the material (if it is printed); the date
of its publication or release; and the
date that your retrieved it (if it is an
online reference).
3. Exercise consistency in the format of your
bibliographical entries. Strictly follow the
format for citing your references according to
the citation style you are using in your research
(APA, MLA, or Chicago). The citation style you
are using will also determine the title or heading
of your reference list. Papers written in APA style
use the heading “References;” the MLA style
uses the heading “Work Cited;” and the Chicago
style uses the heading “Bibliography.”
4. Take note of other considerations
in citing your references. For instance,
make sure to arrange your references
alphabetically. In addition, use en dah
(―) instead of hyphen (-) when
presenting page range (e.g., 5―13).
