Magazine articles
Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Source citation

Articles in magazines are cited much like journal articles (see 17.2), but dates and page numbers are treated differently.

Cite 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. As with journals, you can omit an initial The from the magazine title (see also 22.3.2.1).

If you cite a department or column that appears regularly, capitalize it headline-style and do not enclose it in quotation marks.

Magazine articles consulted online should include a URL (see 15.4.1.3) or the name of a commercial database (see 15.4.1.4). Typically there will be no page numbers to cite.

Magazine articles published online sometimes include readers’ comments. These are cited like comments on blog posts (see 17.5.2).
