Reference page formatting  

• All sources listed on the reference page must be cited somewhere in your presentation.  
• Order references alphabetically by author’s last name (or article title if there is no author). 
• Double space reference list.
• Format sources using a hanging indent: First line is flush left, all other lines are indented.
  • In Powerpoint: Go to the Home tab > Paragraph group settings (click on the small arrow at the bottom right) > Under "Indentation" in the “Special” drop down menu, select “Hanging indent” ​

Authors

• List authors in the order they appear in the original source.
• Spell out each author’s last name. Use initials for first and middle names.
• Be aware that an organization (e.g., National Institutes of Health) can be an author.
• If a source has no author, begin the reference with the title of the source.

Date

• If a source has no date, use (n.d.) –no date – in place of the date. 

Article, book, and chapter titles

• Capitalize ONLY the first word in the title and subtitle (the word that follows a colon or dash).
• Capitalize proper nouns in the title.
