Chapter 5: Journal Articles

See 5

  • The article title appears in single quotation marks, not italics, See 5.2
  • In journals organised by volume number, the year appears in round brackets. Where journals are organised by year (does not have a volume number - may have issue numbers but these reset every year), the year appears in square brackets, See 5.3
  • Include both the volume and issue number. Where an issue is a month or a season, include this as you would a number, See 5.4
  • Place the name of the journal in italics. Do not abbreviate the title of the journal. 'The' should not be included at the start of a journal title, See 5.5
  • The starting page of a journal article forms part of the citation and is separate from the pinpoint, See 5.6
  • Pinpoints in journal articles will generally be to pages, See 5.7
  • Articles published in online journals may not always include a volume, issue or starting page. In online articles the most appropriate form of pinpointing should be used, See 5.10
  • Where citing a forthcoming article (not yet published), replace the starting page number with the word '(forthcoming)', or '(advance') for an article available as an advance. Where not all information (such as volume or issue) is available, provide as much information as you can, See 5.11
