Answer

Hello Deborah

How you cite an article will depend on the citation style you use.  It will be different for APA and for MLA. And you will cite in your paper and also add a reference for the cite you make..

In text citation (Look for the section on electronic sources)

References

A website is considered to be an electronic source. If you use APA please go to this link it explains how you would create a reference for a website.
