General Tips:

  • Alphabetical order: Entries in the bibliography should be arranged alphabetically by the author's last name.
  • Hanging indent: Each entry should have a hanging indent (the first line is flush left, and subsequent lines are indented).
  • Consistent format: Always use the same citation style throughout your bibliography.
