Author Last, First. "Article Title."

Publication, edition if necessary:
page number.
[Note on Location of Publisher: The location of the publisher is not
necessary for nationally published newspapers like Chronicle of Higher
Education. Also, the location is not necessary if the place of
publication is included in the newspaper's title, as in San Antonio
Express-News.]
[Note on Pagination: If newspapers are paginated
consecutively from front to back, the page number alone is sufficient. If
the newspaper is paginated in sections, the section letter and page number
should both be included in the citation. If a newspaper article begins on
one
page and ends on another page, it is sufficient to write the first page on
which the article appears followed by the plus (+) sign. For an example, see
the citation directions for Newspaper from a Database.]

Spacing Citations
Each citation style has specific rules for indentation and spacing within
entries. The
first line of each citation should start at the left margin and subsequent lines subsequent lines
should be indented. Use the following guidelines when preparing your list
of resources:
- MLA: double-space the Works Cited page
- APA: double-space the References page
- Chicago: double-space the Bibliography page
- ASA: double-space the References page
- Turabian: single-space within each entry and double-space between entries
on the Works Cited page
Your list of citations should always be organized alphabetically. For more
detailed information on formatting your essay and creating citations, refer to
the published citation style
guides.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Writers cite their sources for a number of different reasons. However,
there is not a single good reason for the improper use or faulty citation of
research sources. Visit the Citing
