References and sources begin on a separate page at the end of your expository narrative, even for the shorter papers. Wording for the references and sources is different —look up each one. Please make all references clickable by providing the persistent link (if available) or URL link of the information referenced so that the instructor can easily re-access your reference. Students should test the URL links to ensure that each link goes back to the intended citation.

Note: Above is an example of the hanging indent,* single-space style for APA that you must use. Normally, research references will not include your course text. Your text will undoubtedly be an initial resource for many assignments in the course. However, you should find additional resources to support your work beyond the text information, even for brief papers. Remember to put references in alphabetical order by the author’s last name.

* A hanging indent, single-space is easily created in MSWord from <Home>, <Paragraph>, Indentation section, select <Hanging> in the Special Box. Be sure you have also changed the line spacing from double-space used in the body of your research paper to single-space for References . However; remember to double-space between references.
