All Works Cited entries are based on the same need: to direct
the reader as efficiently as possible to the source. In general, the following
"formula" is used: Author. Title. Publishing information. Date. You can remember this simple formula by remembering that we want to give the reader All The Pertinent Data In this acronym, the A stands for "Author," the T stands for "Title," the P stands for "Publishing information," and the D stands for "Date." In our two examples from the previous page, many of the apparent inconsistencies can be explained. Just click on the colored words for an explanation.
Would you like to try implementing our ATPD (All The Pertinent Data) memory
trick and creating your own Works Cited entries?
