When citing magazine or journal articles, take note of the author, article title, periodical title, volume and issue numbers, the date, and page numbers.
Note that the citation format is slightly different if the journal is in print or online.
For each type of source in this guide, both the general form and a specific example will be provided.
The following format will be used:
Parenthetical Citation - entry that appears in the body of your paper.
Works Cited - entry that appears at the end of your paper.
Information on citing and several of the examples were drawn from the MLA Handbook (7th ed.).
Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.
