How should I cite an article? A book? Online resources?
Basic rules for print citations: • Authors’ names are inverted (last name first); if a work has more than one author, invert only the first author’s name, follow it with a comma, then continue listing the rest of the authors. • If you have cited more than one work by a particular author, order them alphabetically by title, and use three hyphens in place of the author’s name for every entry after the first. • When an author appears both as the sole author of a text and as the first author of a group, list solo-author entries first. • If no author is given for a particular work, alphabetize by the title of the piece and use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations.
