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

Many guidelines for citing journal articles (see 17.2) apply equally to magazine articles.

In most cases, cite weekly or monthly magazines by date only, even if they are numbered by volume and issue. Do not enclose the date in parentheses. If you cite a specific passage in a note, include its page number. But you may omit the article's inclusive page numbers in a bibliography entry, since magazine articles often span many pages that include extraneous material. If you include page numbers, use a comma rather than a colon to separate them from the date of issue.

If you cite a department or column that appears regularly, capitalize it headline style and do not enclose it in quotation marks. For a department without a named author, use the name of the magazine in place of the author in a bibliography entry.

For online magazines, follow the guidelines for articles in print magazines. In addition, include the URL and the date you accessed the material (see 15.4.1). Note that a URL alone is not sufficient; you must provide the full facts of publication, as far as they can be determined, so that a reader can search for the source even if the URL changes. Articles in online magazines might not include page numbers, but you may identify the location of a cited passage in a note by adding a descriptive locator (such as a preceding subheading) following the word under before the URL and access date.
