Reference list format
- The word References should appear in bold in upper and lower case and be centred at the top of the page.
- All reference entries should be double-spaced.
- All references should be in a "hanging indent" format.
When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
The APA referencing style is an "author-date" style, so the citation in the text consists of the author(s) and the year of publication given wholly or partly in round brackets. Use only the surname of the author(s) followed by a comma and the year of publication.
Your name at the top of the page. List your references, including their name, job title, company, and contact information, with a space in between each reference. Include at least three professional references who can attest to your ability to perform the job you are applying for.
Number your citationsArrange the sources you cite alphabetically and then number them; or. Number the citations consecutively according to the first mention of each source in the text (using the same number for subsequent references to the same source).
Reference List Order. Works are listed in alphabetical order in the reference list, by the first word of the reference list entry. When alphabetizing names, disregard any spaces or punctuation marks in two-word surnames.
