Printer Friendly Version Format the Works Cited Page The top margin for the Works Cited page should be set at 1". Left, right and bottom margins should be 1". Type the title, Works Cited, with the first letter of each word capitalized. Center the title on the page and double space after the title. Begin each Works Cited entry at the left margin. If the entry takes up more than one line, indent the next line(s) ½ inch. Alphabetize works cited entries by the first letter of the first word of each entry, whether it is an author's last name, editor's last name, or the title (excluding a, an, or the). Alphabetize numbers as if they were spelled out except where chronology or sequence establishes a more appropriate pattern for listing. Double space entries that take up two or more lines and double space between each reference. Print Citations Books A book with one author Jones, Royce. Anatomy of Criticism: Four Essays.
