Begin the reference list on a new page after the text (before any tables, figures, or appendices).
Choose one of the following fonts (use this font throughout the entire document):
sans serif fonts such as 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, or 10-point Lucida Sans Unicode, OR
serif fonts such as 12-point Times New Roman, 11-point Georgia, or Normal (10-point) Computer Modern.
Type “References” (in bold) at the top of the page, centered.
Double-space the entire reference list (within and between entries).
Use a hanging indent (the first line of the reference runs flush with the left margin, each subsequent line jumps in 1.27 cm (0.5 inch). This is how you make a hanging indent in Word:
Highlight the reference with your cursor.
Right click.
Select Paragraph.
Under Indentation, select Special and Hanging.
Put a period after each element of a reference (author, date, title, and source). Omit the period if the reference ends with a DOI or URL. For an explanation per element, see Subsection 3.5: Reference elements. .
