The answer given was for the body of your paper.
Here's how to cite an article both on the References page and in-text:
Author Last Name, First & Middle Initials. (Date). Title of article: Subtitle of article. Title of Source, Volume(Issue), Page numbers. Retrieved from.

In-text:
Paraphrase: (Author Last Name, Year).
