Essential Guidelines for Creating a Works Cited Page

This guide outlines the essential elements to remember when formatting your Works Cited Page (WCP). The WCP is the last page of your paper and should be titled "Works Cited" without any fancy punctuation or font styles. Ensure all entries are in alphabetical order, with the first line left-justified and subsequent lines indented. Remember to include a page number and header, avoid underlining text, and cite sources formally to avoid plagiarism. Aim to include at least three credible sources, such as reliable webpages and scholarly articles.
