BASIC RULES FOR FORMATTING: Separate page at end of research paper 2.54 cm margins In header on the right: your last name and page number Label page: Work Cited Don’t italicize, bold, underline or place in quotations Double space all citations, but do not skip spaced between entries Use hanging indentation HANGING INDENTATION: Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 1 cm to create hanging indentation. For example, this sentence uses hanging indentation. As you can see the second line and every line that follows is indented. It is easy to create handing indentation in MS Word. Use the small triangles on the top ruler. If you move only the bottom triangle, you will create hanging indentation.
