Things to Remember: Always use size 12, Times New Roman Font The phrase Works Cited should be centered on your page Always put the list in alphabetical order based on the Author's Last Name or the first piece of information you have about a source (such as the Title). Always indent the second line of each citation. (If you're having trouble, try hitting Enter then hit Tab.) Double space Works Cited entries. Be sure to abbreviate the months of the year: Jan., Feb, Mar., Apr., May, June, July, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec. Also, use this format for dates: 31 Oct. 2008. Other abbreviations: Ed. or Eds. Editor(s); Dir. Director; Trans. Translator; Perf. Performer You may also abbreviate University and Press (Texas University Press becomes: Texas UP). Use the following example for quotations: The author of this book writes, Always give an in-text citation with author information in parenthesis after direct quotes or even after paraphrasing, including page number if applicable (Sloan 23). This will help you keep track of your citations to make sure you include them in your speech itself. You no longer need to include URLs for web sources, but you need to include the main website in italics (e.g. CNN.com or SIU.edu). If you want to include the URL in order to specify a confusing address, you should place it last and format it like this: <http://siu.edu/admissions/index.php>.
