Write the quote in the text of your paper. If you are directly quoting, put quotation marks at the start and the end of the quote. You could also simply paraphrase the information without quotation marks, stating, for example: A magazine article recently reported an increasing Gross Domestic Product.
The quote in the text must have an attribute. If you use the author's name, such as Author Jane Smith noted the increasing Gross Domestic Product, the reader will have enough information to find the source material in the Works Cited section. If you do not use the author's name, place the last name in parentheses after the quote and before the sentence-ending period, for example: An author noted an increasing Gross Domestic Product (Doe).
Add a Works Cited page to your paper. This page comes after the past page of your text. Type "Works Cited" at the top of the page.
Add the entry for the magazine quote on the Works Cited page. The correct format for the entry begins with the author's last name, a comma, the author's first name and a period.
Continue with the entry by adding the title of the magazine article in quotation marks with a period. Add the name of the magazine in italics. Add the date of the magazine followed by a colon, which is followed by the page number of the article and a period. An example would be as follows: Doe, Jane. "Increasing Gross Domestic Product." GDP Magazine Jan. 2010: 128.
