Explain

  • Cite as you would an online article, beginning with the name of the writer of the comment.
  • If the writer uses a screen name, give the name as it appears in the source, followed by the author’s real name in parentheses (if it is available).
  • After the name, add the label “Comment on,” followed by the title of the article.
  • After the article title, add the word “by” and the name of the author of the article.
  • Continue with publication information for the article (in a journal, magazine, or newspaper).

NOTE: When a URL must be divided at the end of a line, break it only after a slash or a double slash or before any other mark of punctuation. Do not insert a hyphen at the end of the line.
