Explain

List the following elements:

  • author’s name
  • title of article, in quotation marks
  • magazine title, italicized
  • date of publication (day, month, year, abbreviating the names of the months except May, June, and July)
  • page number(s) of article, if any
  • name of database, italicized
  • DOI or permalink, if available; otherwise, URL for article or for database home page

NOTE: If the database does not provide a DOI or a permalink, but it has a URL that is long and complicated, your instructor may allow you to use the URL for the database home page (as in the example). Check with your instructor.
