- How do I cite a magazine article in APA vs MLA?
- APA 7th lists the author, the full publication date (year, month day), the article title in sentence case, the italicized magazine name, the volume(issue), the page range, and the URL for online articles. MLA 9th starts with the author, the article title in quotes, the italicized magazine as the container, the date, and the page range or URL. Pick the style above and the generator applies the right format automatically.
- How do I cite an online magazine article?
- Cite it the same way as a print magazine article but add the URL in place of (or alongside) the page range.

Enter the magazine's website name as the magazine title and the generator formats the online reference correctly.
