Rules

In-text citations

If the author's name is part of the sentence, only the page number is given in parentheses. Place the parentheses where there is a natural pause, preferably at the end of the sentence:

Barrow found that ... (137-141).

If the author's name is not included in the sentence, it should be included in parentheses:

(Barrow 137-141).

If you are using multiple works by the same author, add a comma and the title (short form) or an abbreviated title before the page number.

(Faingold, Child language 95-97).

If you are referring to the entire book, or to a work without a page number, it is often best to include the author's name and/or title in the text itself, like this:

Fukuyama's Our Posthuman Future has many examples of this.

If you are citing works with two or multiple authors, use the same order as on the title page. For three or more authors, use the first author's last name followed by et al.

(Gullion and Tilton 50)

(Smith et al. 42)

Works Cited

• Each source cited in your work should appear in a list at the end of your paper, on a new page entitled Works Cited.
• The works cited list is arranged alphabetically by the author's last name. If the citation contains no author, the citation will begin with the title of the source, and will be listed with the other sources alphabetically.
• If there are multiple authors, the list should be alphabetized starting with the first author, then the second author, etc.
• If you have multiple works by the same author, they should be arranged alphabetically by title. The name is not repeated, but is replaced by three hypens.
• Use hanging indentation in the reference list, meaning that all lines after the first in each entry are indented.
