How do I know if it's a print copy?

You should only cite something as a print source if you consulted the physical "hard copy" of the book or article. If you found something online--even if it's a scanned image of the print version--it should be cited as an electronic source.

Note:

• If issue number is included add it after volume number as no. issue number
• If an article has been accepted for publication but not yet appeared us 'forthcoming' in place of the date and page numbers
• If the publication has additional date information like month or season include it after volume or issue number in parentheses
• Do NOT put a comma or period after an article title that ends with a question mark or exclamation point
• Provide name of journal exactly as it appears on the title page (for example, if the official title is in initial form like PMLA do NOT expand it

Note:

• Primarily cite magazines by date only (even if they have volume and issue information available)
• Additional date information beyond year is shared after the title of the magazine and a comma...it is NOT provided in parentheses
• Omit inclusive page numbers but REMEMBER in indicate page number in-text if a specific passage is quoted
• If you do include page number in the reference list...use a commas NOTa colon to seperate from the additional date of issue information then finish the citation with a period
• Citing a column or a department that appears regularly, capitalize it using headline verus sentence style...do NOT use quotes
• Citing a department without a personal author, use the name of the magazine as author (for example: New Yorker. 2000. Talk of the Town. April 10.)

Note:

• Citation is similar to a magazine
• Use name of newspaper in place of author if article is unsigned
• Include edition of paper to help reader clarify specifically the source of information with a comma after the title of the newspaper and the name of the edition as an identifier without italics -- for example, New York Times, national edition.
• Omit edition information if it is used as a title in place of author
