A Note about CQ Global Researcher Citations:

While citations for CQ Global Researcher articles generally follow the same format as those in CQ Researcher, there are a few exceptions. Because Global Researcher was published monthly, you will not have a publication day and the document ID prefix in the URL is: cqrglobal. Because Global Researcher is only published in an online format, you must consult the downloadable pdf version for pagination. This version can be easily accessed by clicking on the "View PDF" button in the toolbar. However, for easy citing in popular formats, make use of the CiteNow! tool. Please use the following sample in MLA format as a guide for CQ Global Researcher articles:

Example: Loewenberg, Samuel. "Anti-Americanism." CQ Global Researcher Mar. 2007: 51-74. CQ Researcher. Web. 20 December 2013. <http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/document.php?id=cqrglobal2007030000>

Warning:
Citation style for online sources is continually evolving. Moreover, CQ Researcher's publication format, whether it is a news magazine or scholarly journal, may be interpreted differently by citation authorities.
