FIGURE 24.2 Documentation Map for a Journal Article For a print journal, look for the title of the journal on the front cover or in the table of contents. The author and article title will also be listed there; they will, of course, appear on the first page of the article (shown here) as well. The information you will need to cite an article you access through a database will appear in the list of results, the detailed record of the article, and the PDF (or HTML) version of the article itself. For an article published in an electronic journal, look for the information you need to create the works-cited entry on the journal’s home page, table of contents, or the page on which the article appears. Sometimes the URL that appears in your browser's address bar is not the best way to cite your source. Some databases provide shorter, more stable permalinks for journal articles, often as part of a sharing feature or detailed record. If your source has a DOI, use this instead of a URL. DOIs may be listed near the beginning of an article, on the top or bottom of all pages in a PDF, or in the detailed record for the source in a database. You can look up the DOI for any source that has one at www.crossref.org/.
