LITERATURE CITED

This final section is an alphabetical (by author) list of the references cited in your paper.  Include only those specific references cited in the text.  Do not call this section a bibliography as you will be listing mostly scientific papers, not books, and you will be listing only those references cited in the body of your paper. You will find minor variations in the form used for listing references in the literature but the forms for different types of references given below are preferred for this course.
