How do I reference a journal article?
Answer
-
Author
-
Year of publication (in round brackets)
-
Title of article (in single quotation marks)
-
Title of journal (in italics - capitalise first letter of each word, except for linking words)
-
Volume number (unbracketed) and issue number or month/season (in round brackets)
-
First and last page numbers of the article (find these in the PDF version of the article, if one is available)
- Available at: DOI (no access date required) or URL and access date
Some journals use article numbers rather than page numbers. In this case, write your reference as shown below. Page numbers are not required for references. If available, use the article’s PDF page numbers in your in-text citations.
