Online Journal articles - when the DOI is available
This is the preferred method for referencing an online journal article, but you can only use this method if you have a DOI. This is the simpliest method for the researcher and potential readers of the research output. Fortunately, many databases have a Digital Object Identifier which is commonly abbreviated to DOI in our subscribed databases such as IEEExplore. "The basic guideline for citing online sources is to follow the standard citation for the source given previously and add the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) at the end of the citation, or add the DOI in place of page numbers if the source is not paginated." See IEEE Citation Guidelines.

Online magazine article access from a library database |
Note: the article was accessed from Library database: "Expanded Academic". The URL was shortened from: <http://find.galegroup.com.ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au/gtx/infomark.do&source=gale&srcprod= to the main part of the URL which represents the database provider <http://find.galegroup.com> In most instances the URL to periodicals accessed on subscribed databases won't be helpful to potential readers unless they are part of the Monash University community. However the DOI or other permanent link will be useful where made available. |
