How do I cite article sources?

Answer

To cite articles, you have several options:

Use the style manual: APA, MLA, or Chicago. You can use the Excelsior Online Writing Lab (OWL) and/or the APA Style Blog for additional help.
Some databases will now perform that function for you. Look for a cite icon.
If you have many items in your bibliography, you might want to use a citation manager to organize and cite your sources.
Google Scholar has a cite function, too. Type in the title of your resource and click on the cite function.

If you choose to use a database or software tool to help you with citing sources, remember that it is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of your citations!
