  6. A page will show you exactly what information they were able to collect. Click "continue to final step" at the bottom of the page.
  7. Include any additional information you can find that Citation Machine could not find (for example-publication date or publisher)

Requirements for Works Cited page:


  • At least four citations (from places you researched for your book)
  • The url link (web address) should be included in the citation
  • The citations should be listed in alphabetical order
  • The citations should go on the last page of your document.
