Know these rules for the exam and you will be able to correct a sample Works Cited page.
1) Works Cited is always a separate page.
2) The works cited page is still in the text of your research paper. It will include the page number heading continued from the last page of your text.
3) The title of the page is Works Cited. Center this title at the top of the page.
4) Double space between the title and your first entry.
5) List all entries in alphabetical order by last name of the author; sources with no author should be alphabetized by the first important word in the entry.
6) Entries should not be numbered.
7) Underline or italicize titles of independently published works: books, periodicals, albums, and films. Use quotation marks around titles of short works such as a poem, article, or short story.
8) Double-space between lines of an entry and between entries.
9) Begin the first line of each entry at the left margin; indent all other lines five spaces.
10) All works cited must match internal citations in your paper. Do not list a work on your Works Cited page that you do not cite in your paper.
11) The url address is separated by < and >.
12) Dates are written with the number first, the abbreviated month next and then the year. No commas are used. Ex: 2 Dec. 2008.
13) The font style and type size on a Works Cited page are the same as what is used in your paper. Ex: Times New Roman.
14) All entries end in a period.
