Typing Your Research Paper

Font

Formatting Basics Double space throughout paper, with no extra spaces between paragraphs. Do not right justify. Left justify.

Top, bottom, and side margins should be one inch. Better yet, just use the default margins. Indent the first word of each paragraph by ½ inch or 5 spaces. Press the TAB key once.

Do not use a title page for the research paper: instead simply type your name, instructor’s name, course number, and date. This should be flush with the left margin. Center the title of the paper. Do not underline the title, or put in “quotation marks,” or set in ALL CAPITALS. Number all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, right the top and flush with right margin. Type your last name before the page number, and do not use “p.” before the number.

Works Cited MLA style requires that the list of Works Cited start on a new page at the end of your paper. Formatting rules include: Continue page numbering from the body of your paper. Center the title “Works Cited,” one inch from the top. Alphabetize entries by the author’s last name. If no author, alphabetize by the title (ignore A, An,The). Use a hanging indent. Highlight one citation at a time to create hanging idents.
