When you are finishing your research paper, it's important to gather up all of your sources and make a list of complete citations for each source.
That list has a different name in each citation style.
Even though the lists have different names they have many features in common.
Google Docs and Microsoft Word both offer options for formatting your citations with the required "hanging indent."
You can choose to use format special options from toolbar at the top of the page or you can use the margin setting option shown in the video below.
Citation style guides show you what information to include in each citation and how to organize your list of citations.
