AT A GLANCE

Formatting Print Periodical Entries

  • Put titles of articles from periodicals in quotation marks. Place the period inside the closing quotation mark.
  • Give the title of the periodical as it appears on the magazine’s or journal’s cover or newspaper’s front page; omit any initial A, An, or The. Italicize the title.
  • For journals, include the volume number, a period, the issue number, if given, and the year in parentheses.
  • For magazines and newspapers, give the date in this order: day (if given), month, year. Abbreviate months except for May, June, and July.
  • List inclusive page numbers if the article appears on consecutive pages. If it skips pages, give only the first page number and a plus sign.
  • End with the medium (Print).
