WORKS CITED
How to do it properly!
What is the Works Cited page?
This is the page in your paper (or research
plan) that lists all the resources that you
cited in your paper.
 It does NOT list all of the sources that you
read, just those you CITED.


Your Works Cited List
 The Works Cited list should appear at the
end of your paper. It is also part D of the
ISEF paperwork research plan. It provides
the information necessary for a reader to
locate and be able to read any sources
you cite in the essay. Each source you cite
in the paper must appear in your Works
Cited list; likewise, each entry in the Works
Cited list must be cited in your text.
Information from Basic Paper
Format Packet
List Format
 Begin your Works Cited list on a separate
page from the text of the paper.
 Label the works cited list Works Cited (do
not underline the words Works Cited nor
put them in quotation marks)
 Center the words Works Cited at the top
of the page - no more than 14pt in font
size.
Information form Basic Paper
Format Packet
Make the first line of each entry in your list
flush left with the margin.
 Subsequent lines in each entry should be
indented one-half inch. This is known as a
hanging indent.
 Double space all entries, with no skipped
spaces between entries.


Format Packet
Keep in mind that underlining and italics
are equivalent; you should select one or
the other to use throughout. Be
consistent.
 Alphabetize the list of works cited by the
first word (unless “The” or “A”) in each
entry (usually the author's last name).
 Do not number or put bullets before each
entry.

Format of Works Cited page
Written on a separate page in the paper.
 Follow the MLA style.
 You must have a minimum of five sources.
 You must have a variety of sources (no
more than half can be websites).

How do I Cite a Source?




Authors' names are inverted (last name first); if a work
has more than one author, invert only the first author's
name, follow it with a comma, then continue listing the
rest of the authors.
If you have cited more than one work by a particular
author, order them alphabetically by title, and use three
hyphens in place of the author's name for every entry
after the first.
When an author appears both as the sole author of a
text and as the first author of a group, list solo-author
entries first.
If no author is given for a particular work, alphabetize by
the title of the piece and use a shortened version of the
title for parenthetical citations.
How do I Cite a Source?




Capitalize each word in the titles of articles, books, etc.
This rule does not apply to articles, short prepositions, or
conjunctions unless one is the first word of the title or
subtitle.
Underline or italicize titles of books, journals, magazines,
newspapers, and films.
Use quotation marks around the titles of articles in
journals, magazines, and newspapers. Also use
quotation marks for the titles of short stories, book
chapters, poems, and songs.
List page numbers efficiently, when needed. If you refer
to a journal article that appeared on pages 225 through
250, list the page numbers on your Works Cited page as
225-50.
MLA Style
MLA Style is geared more towards
humanities writing than science.
 We are using the 7th version.
 If you use an on-line style writer, be sure
to check it afterwards to make sure the
works was cited correctly.

MLA Format: books
Books
Author(s). Title of Book. Place of
Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication.
Print.
Book with one author
Henley, Patricia. The Hummingbird House.
Denver: MacMurray, 1999. Print.
MLA Format: books
Book with more than one author
Gillespie, Paula, and Neal Lerner. The Allyn and Bacon
Guide to Peer Tutoring. Boston: Allyn, 2000. Print.

If there are more than three authors, you may list only
the first author followed by the phrase et al. (the
abbreviation for the Latin phrase "and others") in place of
the other authors' names, or you may list all the authors
in the order in which their names appear on the title
page.
MLA Format: journals
An article in a scholarly journal
Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Journal Vol (Year):
pages. Print.
"Vol" indicates the volume number of the journal. If the
journal uses continuous pagination throughout a
particular volume, only volume and year are needed, e.g.
Modern Fiction Studies 40 (1998): 251-81. If each issue
of the journal begins on page 1, however, you must also
provide the issue number following the volume, e.g.
Mosaic 19.3 (1986): 33-49.
