Citing from Databases

Many databases offer a "Cite" feature that will help you cite your article.

Make sure to select APA Style.
ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK CITATION. They are seldom 100% correct.
The citation below is actually INCORRECT even though it was generated by the database - you do not capitalize non-proper nouns in the article title. However, you can use the citation as a building block to create your own.
