Module Three - Journals
Electronic Journals
In general, electronic journals are cited in the same manner as print journals, especially if pdf files are available. However, if the journal is ONLY available online and/or in html format, you will want to include the following information:
- URL and access date. To cite electronic journals, follow the relevant examples presented above. In addition, add the URL and, if the publisher or discipline requires it, or for especially time-sensitive data, the date the material was last accessed (see 17.12). 17.180
- Pagination. The number ranges that appear in some of the following examples are those usually provided for articles in online journals that have parallel print versions. Many scholarly journals also make images of the printed page available online, so that citations to individual pages are possible. When citing an article, always include the page range, if it is possible, in the reference list. If individual page numbers are not available, adding a descriptive locator (such as the subhead) to citations in text will be helpful to readers. 17.181
