Would you please take a look at this? If I ask piecemeal questions, solutions seem to break each other. Please advice.
I 'm trying to finish a thesis according to school requirements. Thesis has References and Appendices. TOC seems mostly OK, except for lines for References and Appendices.
Notice the upper case, normal size format of the REFERENCES lonely word.
According to the school, the toc should look like
For the MWE I took a lot of titlesec formatting out.
Sorry the crappy images, here is what the final part, from last page of text to end, should look like:
Page 39 in here is last page of text, page 40 says "REFERENCE", 41 is "REFERENCE" plus bibliographic items, 42 would be a continuation of bibliography (with numbering in upper left), next one (43) says "APPENDICES", 44 is a cover letter for APPENDIX A, 45 is text of Appendix A, 46 is cover for Appendix B, 47 is text of Appendix B.
So, References and Appendices should have a cover letter. References get a line in TOC. Appendices gets one but without leadings dots or page number. A and B (appendices) get their lines.
Sorry for adding to the minimal working example a ton of tocloft formatting, but I'm trying to ensure that the result looks good in the table of contents. For instance, just adding \part*{References} will add a new page, but has the undesirable effect of showing up badly in the table of contents.

Since you are already using the package
appendix, there is a very simple way.First of all, let's define a new environment that behaves like
appendices, but inserts a page for references (with uppercase letters and normal size font):When you call your bibliography, you have to encase it inside the
referencesenvironment:Of course, you have to tell
tocbibindthat you don't want an entry for the bibliography in the ToC, otherwise you would have two entries:MWE:
Output (ToC):
Output (References):
