The first line of a works cited entry is not indented. It is typically aligned with the left margin. The hanging indent is used for the lines after the first in a works cited entry. This means that the second line and any subsequent lines are indented, while the first line remains flush with the left margin. The last line of a works cited entry is also not indented. It is aligned with the left margin, just like the first line.
