What is a Works Cited Page?

• A works cited page identifies the sources you
  cited within the text of your research paper.
• If only one source is cited, refer to it as a
  work cited page.
•  

4
Why Use a Works Cited Page?

• By citing the works used within the text of your
  paper, your reader is able to consult the
  original document for further information, if so
  desired.
• Also, it presents documentation for your
  citations, which provides credibility for your
  paper.
•  

5
Where is it Located?

• The works cited page immediately follows the text
  of your research paper.
• It may be one page or multiple pages.
•  

6
Formatting Requirements

• Header and Page Number
• Your last name and page number are located at the
  top right hand corner of your page, 1/2 an inch
  from the top of the page. The page number should
  be a continuation of your text.
• Title
• Your works cited page should be titled Works
  Cited. Do not use quotation marks around your
  title. Your title should be one inch from the top
  of the page, centered.
• Margins
• Use one-inch margins all the way around your
  works cited page, just like the text of your
  paper.
• Order of Information
• Alphabetize by first letter of each entry.
