How do you list sources in a research paper?

Identify the author and title for each source. For every source you plan to use in your research paper, write down the author and title. If there are multiple authors, write them down in the same order as they appear on the title page of a book, or in the byline of an article.

Where do you cite your sources in your research paper?

You provide complete information about the source (author, title, name of publication, date, etc.) at the end of your paper, in the bibliography (also called the works cited or references page, depending on the style you use).

What is the most popular citation style?

MLA MLA citation style

How do you write a list of sources?

List all of the authors for each of your sources. Alphabetize the authors by last name. Type the last name, a comma and the first name. For works with multiple authors, type the first author’s last name first, and the rest of the authors in standard format.

How do you reference within a document?

When using APA format, follow the author, date method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, e.g., (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
