Bibliographies
In the bibliography of your paper, authors are listed last name first if there is a single author. If there is more than one author, the first listed is last name first, and the rest are listed first name then last name. If any of the necessary information is not available, it is simply omitted from the entry, and all of the other components are listed as shown. Bibliographies are alphabetized according to the first word of each entry and are not numbered or centered.
