example academic journal article
Academic journal articles' citations differ from book sources, and thus require you to identify a few unique pieces of information.
Title - Full title and subtitles
Author(s)- may include one or more authors of the article
Page Number - cite the entire page range in which the article appears
Publication - name of the journal the article was publishedin
Volume / Issue Number - identifies the exact edition of the journal where the article appears
Publication Date- date formats vary; use the format the journal provides or the citation style requires
Most citation information will appear on the first page of the article; however, the location of that information will vary from journal to journal. You can find the placement of the journal name, page number, publication date, and volume and issue number located on the top or bottom of the article’s page. The publication date may be a single year (2013), a distinct month (October 2010), specific publication cycle (Fall 2007), or an exact date (June 28, 2005). The page range of the article is another cirtical piece of citation information. Some article in printed or PDF format, will have the page numbers visible. Other articles in a digital, or HTML, format may not have obvious page ranges.
