Is this the right way to say this?

Question

i am citing from an articel, but don't know if I am suppose to capitalize or underline the article name while citing? and should I put the authors name next to title? THANK YOU PEOPLE!

In the article, The Future of Optimism by Peterson, optimisim is defined as a mood or approach toward future expectation.

Answer 1

Underlining is for book titles. Since this is an article, just take away the first comma and italicize the name of the article. Add the date. So your citation would look like this:

In his 2000 article The Future of Optimism, Peterson defines optimism as a mood or approach toward future expectation. (With the title of the article in italics)

or

In the 2000 article The Future of Optimism by Peterson, optimism is defined as a mood or approach toward future expectation. (Again, with the title italicized)
