Theses & Dissertations: References

  1. Always start your references on a new page.  Use the page break function to insert a blank page; do not use the Enter key multiple times.
  2. Type REFERENCES on the first line. Be sure to label this title as a page title heading to format it properly; see Content/Chapters for more information about headings. Master of Arts in English will also use this page title even though it is not MLA standard.
  3. Start listing your references on the next line.
  4. References use a hanging indent, which means the beginning of a reference starts all the way at the left and additional lines of that same reference are indented 0.5".  See to format a hanging indent; do not use the Enter key and space bar.
  5. Hyperlinks are allowed in your reference list.  Links should not be underlined, and the font should be black. Do not manually insert line breaks into DOI's or URL's; however, breaks in DOI's or URL's applied automatically by a word-processing program are allowed.
  6. The reference page should not include any bolded words.
