References to electronic articles from a scholarly journal must include the following elements if given:
Author Last name, First. “Article Title.” Name of Journal, vol. number, issue number, Month or Season Year, start page – end page if given, Name of Database, URL or DOI (preferred).
Check with your professor to make sure that including the URL/DOI is preferred.
The volume number and issue number are preceded by vol. and no., respectively. Page numbers in the works-cited list are preceded by p. or pp.
Example 1:
Author Last name, First. "Title of Article." Title of Periodical, vol. #, no. #, Day Month Year, pages. Database, URL (if your instructor prefers URLs to be included, omit the leading http(s)://).
*Note: include any articles (A, An, The) at the beginning of a magazine's title. Page numbers in the works-cited list are preceded by p. or pp.
Author Last name, First. "Title of Article." Title of Periodical, Day Month Year, page(s). Database, URL.
* Remember to check your instructor's preferences for including or omitting the location URL.
However, note that newspaper page numbers may look different from magazine page numbers; they will typically include both a number and letter. If the newspaper has multiple editions in the same day, i.e., an early and a late edition, include that information directly after the date of publication. Some electronic newspaper articles will not have page numbers.
