Most databases have an automatic citation feature that will format your citation. Look for a button labeled "Cite" or "Export." Be sure to proofread the citation for style errors before copying and pasting into your bibliography.
For larger projects or group projects, you may find it useful to use a citation manager like Zotero, which helps to organize citation details, PDFs, and notes, and will format citations for you. You can find a detailed guide to installing and using Zotero here.
