Part II. Source Citation

Most journal citations include volume number, issue number or month, and year. Readers may not need all of these elements to locate an article, but including them all guards against a possible error in one of them.

VOLUME AND ISSUE NUMBERS. The volume number follows the journal title without intervening punctuation and is not italicized. Use arabic numerals even if the journal itself uses roman numerals. If there is an issue number, it follows the volume number, separated by a comma and preceded by no.

N: 2. Christopher S. Mackay, “Lactantius and the Succession to Diocletian,” Classical Philology 94, no. 2 (1999): 205.

B: Kumar, Rahul. “Reasonable Reasons in Contractualist Moral Argument.” Ethics 114 (October 2003): 6—37.

When a journal uses issue numbers only, without volume numbers, a comma follows the journal title.

B: Beattie, J. M. “The Pattern of Crime in England, 1660—1800.” Past and Present, no. 62 (1974): 47—95.

DATE OF PUBLICATION. The date of publication appears in parentheses after the volume number (or issue number, if given). For the form of the date, follow the practice of the journal; it must include the year and may include a season, a month, or an exact day. Capitalize seasons in journal citations, even though they are not capitalized in text.

N: 27. Sarah Burns, “Ordering the Artist's Body: Thomas Eakins's Acts of Self-portrayal,” American Art 19, no. 1 (Spring 2005): 95.

If an article has been accepted for publication but has not yet appeared, use forthcoming in place of the date and page numbers. Treat any article not yet accepted for publication as an unpublished manuscript (see 17.6).
