16 Creating Citations for Journal Articles

Next, we will use the W’s to look at creating footnotes/endnotes and bibliographic citations for the various sources evaluated in the previous chapters. Pay close attention to the punctuation, capitalization and italics used.

  • Author: is the first name(s) and last name of the author(s).
    • for the footnote write it like this: first name(s) then last name followed by a comma
    • for the bibliography write it like this: the last name, then a comma, then the full first name(s) followed by a period at the end of the author element. Note that if you have more than one author, only the first author’s name is inverted, the conjunction ’and’ is then used before the last author.
    • authors are always ordered as they appear on the work.
  • Title: article titles are capitalized headline-style and placed in quotation marks
    • headline style means “the first and last words of title and subtitle and all other major words are capitalized.”
  • Location 1: includes the journal title, volume number and issue number
    • the Journal Title is in headline style and in italics
    • the Volume number comes directly after the Journal Title 
    • the Issue number (if there is one) follows the volume number, separated by a comma and preceded by the abbreviation no.
  • Date: is the publication date (Year) of the article written in parentheses and followed by a colon
  • Location 2: includes page information and for online articles also information on the web location
    • for the footnote add the exact page number for your citation information
    • for the bibliography add the page range of the complete article; if the range is in the hundreds, don’t repeat the number for the hundred spot (i.e. 620-45, not 620-645)
    • for articles found online, add the DOI or, if not available, the name of the library database, or the URL of the webpage (if the article is freely available on the internet)
