REFERENCES
Every paper must include a reference list. The purpose of the list is to allow the
reader to find and check your citations as easily as possible. A reference list differs
from a bibliography in that it only includes works actually cited in the paper and
does not include other works that might have been consulted. All references must
be listed alphabetically by the author’s last name.
There are many different conventions regarding how one should list one’s
references. Use the one presented in chapter 18 of Turabian and summarized here.
Note: In an actual reference list, the references are not segregated by type as in
this set of examples.
