Ask a Librarian

Great question! 

Since each single-themed issue is researched and written by a single journalist rather than by individual authors reporting their scholarly research, we recommend that CQ Researcher be treated as a magazine.  

To cite an article originally written for CQ Researcher:

1. Choose your Citation Style
2. Choose Magazine as your citation type
3. Click Create Citation
4. Select Database on the left side of the form
5. Complete the form

Note: APA, 7th edition tells us that if the magazine article does not have a DOI and is from an academic research database, end the reference after the page range. Do not include database information in the reference. The reference in this case is the same as for a print magazine article.
