The Works Cited list contains all of the sources used in your research. It appears on a separate page at the end of a research paper. Entries are listed alphabetically by main entry (usually the author).
Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries.
Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inches to create a hanging indent.
The 9th edition of the MLA style guide recommends a method which is applicable to any type of document or source.
All entries in a Works Cited list are based on nine core elements and should be included in the following order with the punctuation shown. End the full citation with a period.
It’s possible that you will not have all of the core elements for a particular source. Simply skip missing elements, with the exception of the title. If there is no title, supply a description of the source in place of the title (pg. 105/5.1). You may also add supplemental elements (for further clarification about supplemental elements see pgs. 208-210 of the 9th edition of the MLA Handbook).
1. Author. 2. Title of source. 3. Title of container, 4. Contributors, 5. Version, 6. Number, 7. Publisher, 8. Publication Date, 9. Location.
By recording the core elements, in their proper order, with punctuation provided, you have created a Works Cited list.
