Some reminders for a perfect format are: - sources must be in alphabetical order - Include proper indents where the first line is left justified and the subsequent lines are indented inwards like a new paragraph. In the MLA format, this is the opposite, so please make sure your first line is on the left and second, third lines are indented. - No bold or underline anywhere in your citations. Only use italics for main book name or journal names. - Do not use title casing, only use sentence cases. This means after the first letter (upper case), the rest are all lower cased unless it is a special noun such as someone’s name or the name of a country etc.
