It is easy to get confused and overwhelmed when providing a list of works cited for a research assignment, but by simply breaking down the information you need step by step, you will quickly find it easy to correctly cite the information you find. Writing citations will get easier with practice and patience.

      Check if an author is credited for the article in the newsletter you are referencing. Any authors listed must be written first in the citation, with their last name followed by their first and a comma separating the names. Write the title of the article in quotations. Write the name of the newsletter following the article title and underline it. Include the volume and issue number, separated by a dash, if they appear. The date of publication should follow, starting with the day, then the month and the year. If the article has a page number, place the page number after the date of publication separated by a semi-colon. Your citation should look similar to the following example: Godden, Jill. "Immigrating From England." Immigrants Periodical 21-2 24, Feb. 1990: 4.

      Include all authors' names if more than one author is stated as having written the article. Write the first author's last name, then a comma, then write her first name and then write all other authors names in the format with their first name first and last name following connecting the names together with "and." For example, Godden, Jill and Anne Smythe. Complete the citation in the exact same way you would if there was only one author.
