Warning: CQ Researcher Report Citations

Be careful! Occasionally, CQ Researcher (and other databases) will generate an incorrect citation. Before you copy/paste any of these citations into your work, make sure to take the time to check them for accuracy. Common citation mistakes include: no hanging indent, incorrect use of italics, incorrect use of capital letters, improper inclusion of a URL.

The LAVC Library recommends citing CQ Researcher Reports as if they were magazine articles from a website (more on classifying CQ Researcher Reports on the previous page of this guide).

Please refer to the "magazine article from a website" examples in our MLA and APA citation guides for help with citing these Reports correctly. When CQ Researcher makes a citation for you, they are closely following this format.
