Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

Many guidelines for citing journal articles (see 19.2) apply equally to magazine articles. Put article titles in roman type without quotation marks, capitalized sentence style; put magazine titles in italics, capitalized headline style (see 22.3.1).

In most cases, cite weekly or monthly magazines by date only, even if they are numbered by volume and issue. In reference list entries, put the year in the usual position and any additional date information (such as month or exact day) after the magazine title but not enclosed in parentheses. If you cite a specific passage in a parenthetical citation, include its page number. But you may omit the article's inclusive page numbers in a reference list entry, since magazine articles often span many pages that include extraneous material. If you include page numbers in a reference list entry, 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.

For online magazines, follow the guidelines for articles in print magazines. In addition, include the URL and the date you accessed the material in your reference list (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 parenthetical citation by adding a descriptive locator (such as a preceding subheading) following the word under.
