The standard works cited entry begins with the author’s last name followed by their complete first name (unless the author has published only initial[s]). Italicize titles of complete works, such as book and journal titles, websites, plays, films, and artistic performances; place quotation marks around titles of articles, essays, book chapters, short stories, poems, web pages, and TV episodes.
