How to indent just the second lines of citations in Google Docs?

Answer

Google Docs has introduced the ability to create what is called a “hanging indent,” which only indents the second line of text in a citation.

To create one:

  1. Highlight the citation
  2. Select "Format" in the top menu
  3. Select "Align and Indent" in the drop down
  4. Then click "Indentation Options"
  5. In the window that opens, under special indent, select "Hanging"
  6. Click the "Apply" button
