To get a correctly formatted citation, you MUST:
1. Identify the citation style: Your instructor or publication will specify which style to use (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).
2. Use a citation management tool or online generator: Tools like Zotero, Mendeley, or EasyBib can automatically format citations based on the style you select. Provide the tool with the article's details, and it will create the citation for you. Many online generators are also available, but double-check their accuracy.
3. Consult a style guide: The official style guide (e.g., the MLA Handbook, the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association) provides complete and accurate formatting rules.
Relying on a general template is risky; always use a dedicated tool or style guide to ensure accuracy. Incorrect citations can be considered plagiarism.
