Begin with the title of the article. This should be enclosed in quotation marks. You can use single or double quotes, but you must be consistent throughout the paper. End the title with a period inside the quotes. For example, if the title of the article is "The King is a Heretic," then your citation should begin: "The King is a Heretic."
Underline the title of the periodical and follow it with another period. If your word processor will not support this type of formatting, then use underscore symbols to indicate that the title should be underlined. For example, if the title of the publication were "The Weekly Revolutionary," then your citation should now read: "The King is a Heretic." _The Weekly Revolutionary_.
Add the date of publication, followed by a colon. This information should be available on the front of magazines and nearly every page of a newspaper. The date should be written in day/month/year sequence with the month abbreviated by the first three letters. If the periodical was published June 1, 1767, then your citation, thus far, will look like: "The King is a Heretic." _The Weekly Revolutionary_. 1 Jun 1767:
Finish with the page number of the article and a final period. For example, if the article was published on pages 2 to 4, then your finished citation should read: "The King is a Heretic." _The Weekly Revolutionary_. 1 Jun 1767: 2-4.
