How do you do a word cited page?
please help me so confused. Paper due tomorrow.
Thank you
You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):
Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.
... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

Here's a good place for information on citing in MLA format:
(Broken Link Removed)
Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.
You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

If you need to cite in APA or another format, go here:

In the column at the left, scroll down until you see the different topics on evidence and the different styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

This will help you with APA bibliographies.

I'd be happy to help you with creating a works cited page! Don't worry, I'll explain it step-by-step to make it easier for you.
A works cited page is a list of all the sources you have cited or referenced in your paper. It allows readers to find the sources you used and verify the information you have presented. Here's how you can create a works cited page:
1. Start by collecting all the necessary information for each source you used. This includes the author's name, title of the source, publication date, and other relevant details.
2. Organize your sources in alphabetical order based on the author's last name. If there is no author, use the title of the source to alphabetize.
3. Format each entry according to the specific citation style required by your professor or the guidelines given for your paper. The most commonly used citation styles are MLA (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychological Association), and Chicago Style. Make sure to follow the instructions provided, as each style has its own specific formatting rules.
4. For each source, include all the required information, such as the author's name, title of the source (book, article, website, etc.), publication date, publisher, and URL (if applicable). The required information varies depending on the type of source and the citation style you are using.
5. In MLA style, the works cited page should be titled "Works Cited" and formatted as a separate page at the end of your paper. In APA style, it is titled "References" and placed on a new page. The format and location may vary for other citation styles, so make sure to check the specific guidelines.
6. Double-check your works cited page to ensure that all the necessary information is included and that it is properly formatted. Pay attention to punctuation, capitalization, and italicization or quotation marks based on the citation style you are using.
Remember, it's essential to give credit to the original authors and sources of the information you have used in your paper. Properly citing your sources shows academic integrity and avoids plagiarism.
If you still have questions or need clarification regarding specific details or citation styles, feel free to ask. Good luck with your paper!
