how to format a works cited page
Continue with the numbering convention used throughout the paper by including your last name and the page number in the upper right-hand corner of the Works Cited page.
Double space the entire list of sources.
Citations beginning with names and those beginning with titles are to be alphabetized together. Numbers in titles are treated as though they have been spelled out. For names, alphabetize based on the letters that come before the comma separating the last name from the first, and disregard any spaces or other punctuation in the last name. For titles, ignore articles such as “a” and “the” (and equivalents in other languages) for alphabetization purposes.
For full guidance, please consult The Chicago Manual of Style Online (access for UNC affiliates via Onyen login).
A page header in MLA should be found on the top of every page justified to the right. The page header should contain the author’s last name followed by the page number. Every page should be double-spaced including the works cited page.
There is no title page for MLA. The first page should contain information such as author’s name, professor’s name, class and date, all justified to the left. This should be followed by the title centered. Use our title page creator to format your first page.
Go to our Cite MLA guide. Click on the Grab a Citation page. Easy Bib is a citation generator. You just plug in the information, and it produces a citation, which you then copy and paste onto your works cited page.
If you prefer to manually create the citation, use the Cite the Web page of the same guide for formatting tips.
