How to Cite Magazines

All sources used for information in your research paper must be included in a reference list at the end of your paper, including articles that appear in a magazine. Citation styles require that you arrange bibliographic information in a specific sequence. The proper format for the citation of an article that appears in a magazine will depend on which citation style your professor has asked you to use.
