Reference help

Trying to do my references for my essay on word, they’re all fine except one just keeps separating from the rest. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Or why it’s happening?

It's a formatting issue presumably? Did you cut and paste it from somewhere and carry over the formatting?

I think it was because I pasted the doi, do you know if there’s any way I could fix it? Thanks!

Hi,

There should be a little paint brush button at the top the word document that will copy the format.

Here’s a video from Microsoft that shows you how to do it!

Good luck with your essay!

Or you could remove the formatting on that bit. Word - HOME tab - FONT section - look for an upper case A with an eraser - this will clear any carried over formatting. You will probably have to check the font / size afterwards to make sure it's like the rest of the bib.
