Citing Journal Articles

When citing journal articles, you must include the following information:

• the author's name - as it appears at the beginning of the article
• the title of the article
• the year in brackets - parentheses, i.e. (2008), for reports which have sequential volume numbers and square brackets, i.e. , where the volumes are designated by year rather than volume
• the volume number (if applicable)
• where the page numbers are not numbered continuously throughout the entire volume, the relevant issue number, in parentheses
• the full journal title, in italics or, where you are unable to italicise, underlined
• the page number at which the article commences; and
• any applicable pinpoint reference, separated from the other information by a comma.
