The format for citing depends on the style your instructor has requested for your research paper. MLA and APA are the most common styles used at LCCC.
MLA Style
Last Name, First M. “Title of the Editorial.” Newspaper Title, Volume, Issue, Publication day Mon. year, p. number. Op-ed.
Gergen, David. “A Question of Values.” US News and World Report, 11 Feb. 2001, p. 72. Op-ed.
APA Style
Use the reference format for the type of publication in which the editorial was published. This example is for a newspaper:
