  3. If one cite is used many moment in one paper, use the just number throughout. you only need one reference entry per source (not 20 contact for the same source because you second that source 20 times in yours paper).
  4. When you set upwards your References list, each quotation should be listed in numerical order to reflect the your of your in-text citations and correspond to the overlapping citations used in the copy.
