+'''Citing Articles'''
+When citing an article it is important to get information like the dates correct, because there is not much information. In addition, citing a print article, the main point is to be able to look it up and know when it was published.
+There are few rules and exceptions outside of the traditional format. If certain information like page numbers is not available because the article is found online, simply leave that part out and skip to the next part or you can put “n. page” in the space. Also, the title of the article and the title of the newspaper, magazine, etc. that the article is in are typed different. The article should be in quotations and the work it is in should be italicized.
