CiteNow! is a feature that generates a citation for a specific document. It can be found in the document navigation bar within any document in the collection. To create a citation for a document, simply click on the CiteNow! icon and choose the citation style that is appropriate for your research. Four citation styles are offered: APA, Chicago, MLA, and Bluebook.
Citation styles for online materials are continually evolving. To provide the most up-to-date citation examples, the CQ Press editorial staff consulted the following:
- The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, 20th ed. (2015)
- The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th ed. (2017)
- MLA Handbook, 8th ed. (2016)

To better serve our users, citations in the CQ Press Library incorporate document ID numbers and full URLs to the documents even where the above style guides do not require that information. This additional information facilitates locating documents in the CQ Press Library and thereby hews to the spirit of the style guides.
