There are certain basic things you need to cite almost all sources, using just about any format:
- The AUTHOR (or creator) of the work. This may be one person, many people, a group or an organization.
- The TITLE OF THE WORK itself. The article title, the book title, the video title, etc.
- The PUBLICATION DATE.
If your specific source was published as part of a larger work, then you also need the TITLE OF THE LARGER WORK.
This could be a newspaper, magazine or journal (if your source is an article), a book (if your source is a chapter or image), etc.
