Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

A journal issue devoted to a single theme is known as a special issue. It carries a normal volume and issue number. If a special issue has a title and an editor of its own, include both in the citations. The title is given in roman type and enclosed in quotation marks.

N: 67. Matthew L. Jones, “Descartes's Geometry as a Spiritual Exercise,” in “Things,” ed. Bill Brown, special issue, Critical Inquiry 28, no. 1 (Autumn 2001): 43—44.

B: Jones, Matthew L. “Descartes's Geometry as a Spiritual Exercise.” In “Things,” ed. Bill Brown. Special issue, Critical Inquiry 28, no. 1 (Autumn 2001): 40—71.

If you need to cite the issue as a whole, omit the article information.

B: Brown, Bill, ed. “Things.” Special issue, Critical Inquiry 28, no. 1 (Autumn 2001).

A journal supplement may also have a title and an author or editor of its own. Unlike a special issue, it is numbered separately from the regular issues of the journal, often with S as part of its page numbers. Use a comma between the volume number and the supplement number.
