References
Style guides and journals vary widely in the treatment of references. Your comprehensive
list of references also may be called “Works Cited” or “Bibliography,” but certain
requirements apply to the list regardless of its name. Your style guide determines the
format for all entries and their overall organization; therefore, you must be familiar with
the style of citations and references used by your journal or style guide, ensuring that it
addresses all of your source types. Please be aware that some style guides provide
more than one option for reference style, depending on the discipline (e.g., humanities or
sciences), so you will want to choose the option that is best suited to your discipline.
The reference list should be single spaced with one additional line space
separating each reference from another.
It is fine to have references listed after each chapter but a comprehensive
references page must also be included at the end of the document (before
appendices)
Avoid splitting a reference entry between two pages.

When you submit your document for format review, the advisor will check your citations
for consistency, but you must complete a more thorough check to guarantee the order of
references and the completeness of entries in relation to your style guide, and to ensure
that the information you provide to your readers is accurate and that you are not
plagiarizing per https://graduate.asu.edu/current-students/policies-forms-and-deadlines/
academic-integrity. You will also want to verify that your reference list entries match any
coinciding in-text citations. You are ultimately responsible for the completeness and
accuracy of your references.
