How to Cite Articles

Determine which citation style to use; the two most commonly used at CSUN are MLA and APA. If your professor didn't specify, pick one and use it consistently.
Check the sample style sheets (MLA or APA) to see what information the article citation should contain and how it should be formatted.
Be sure to indicate where material you quoted directly or paraphrased came from.
