Indent each paragraph.

quotation marks. Or one could use this formula: Author last name (year) says: “somethings” (p.

23). More than six authors: (Talley et al., year, p. 57). No known author (“Short title”, year, p.

56). If there is no page number use para. 4.

References

No indent on the first line of each reference.

You can use paragraph hanging to indent the references, list citation in alphabetical order, the

first letter of every title is capital and the least is small.

Note: For direct quotations of more than 40 words, display the quote as an indented block of
text without quotation marks and include the authors’ names, year, and page number in
parentheses at the end of the quote. For example:
This suggests that familiarity with nonnative speech in general, although it is clearly not as
important a variable as topic familiarity, may indeed have some effect. That is, prior
experience with nonnative speech, such as that gained by listening to the reading,
facilitates comprehension. (Gass & Varonis, 1984, p. 77)
