For scholarly articles accessed electronically in a database, provide the print information and then list the database and the DOI (digital object identifier) if the article has one or the URL.
DOI Example:
Walshe, Rory A. and Charlotte Eloise Stancioff. "Small Island Perspectives on Climate Change." Island Studies Journal, vol. 13, no. 1, May 2018, pp. 13-24. Academic Search Complete, doi:10.24043/isj.56. |
If the article in the database does not have a DOI, use a URL.
For URLs from a database, be sure to copy the stable URL or "permalink" as those do not change and will remain active. Databases normally have a way to access those links -- and they are different-- from the links in your browser.
URL Example:
Hannah, Daniel K. "The Private Life, the Public Stage: Henry James in Recent Fiction." Journal of Modern Literature, vol.30, no. 3, 2007, pp. 70-94. JSTOR, www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lib.uwf.edu/stable/30053134. Note: When including a URL, omit the http:// and https:// |
When citing an article from a website, include the URL (without the http://) and the date you accessed it, in case the link becomes broken in the future.
Example:
Wilner, Arlene. "Confronting Resistance: Sonny's Blues and Mine." Pedagogy, vol. 2, no. 2, 1 Spring 2002, pp. 173-96, read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy/article/2/2/173/29255/Confronting-Resistance-Sonny-s-Blues-and-Mine. Accessed 5 July 2018. |
Format:
A print article is formatted the same as an online article from a database minus the database and URL.
Example:
Hannah, Daniel K. "The Private Life, the Public Stage: Henry James in Recent Fiction." Journal of Modern Literature, vol.30, no.3, 2007, pp. 70-94. |
