Use the tab key or the automatic paragraph-formatting function of your word-processing program to achieve the indentation (the default setting is likely already 0.5 in.). Indent the first line of each paragraph of text 0.5 in.However, it is acceptable if your word-processing program automatically inserts breaks in long hyperlinks (such as in a DOI or URL in a reference list entry). Do not insert hyphens (manual breaks) in words at the end of line.
