1.
Make
sure that the first word of the in-text citation is the same first
word on the references or works cited page.
For example, if (McMurtry,
2000) is cited within the narrative, then on the references page, we
expect to see an entry beginning as follows: McMurtry (2000).
2.
Give
specific page numbers for
in-text citations; give total
page numbers of articles on the References or Works Cited page.
3.
Alphabetize
properly (alphabetize by the first word other than a, an, and the).
4.
Follow
the appropriate style guide exactly.
5.
If
you can’t find a documentation model for a particular source,
especially for electronic references, use the model closest to the
information that you have. You may have to combine parts of several
examples.
