References

The format of the reference citation should have the first line left aligned and the second and

subsequent lines indented. By creating a hanging indent, we have already done this

automatically; just begin typing your references.

Once you are finished with one reference, press the “Enter” key on your keyboard. The cursor

will automatically shift back to the left margin, and you may continue typing your second

reference. Be sure the references are in alphabetical order.
