Publication information
(Periodical Issue.)
IN-TEXT NOTE: (Heffernan)
Online access information
Some genres of Web sites and Web pages have special formatting:
• Are you citing an online article? For an article in an online magazine
or journal, list as you would a printed article, using the site name for
the periodical name; then identify the issue volume or date (see Section
27b-4 on pages 308–309), followed by online access information.
See Models 32, 33. If you pull the article from an online database, list
the name of the database after the issue information. See Model 33
(second item)
• Are you citing an online newspaper article? Provide all the basic publication
information, including the name of the newspaper—which
may or may not indicate that it is a Web version. Provide both the original
date of article and a date of access: list both separately even when
the dates are the same. See Model 34 (first item). A newspaper article
drawn from an archive may have an unwieldy URL; if that’s the case,
provide a URL for the basic site. See Model 34 (second item)
• Are you citing an online version of a book or other print source?
List all print publication details that are given (using the guidelines for
books, book parts, and articles) just before the standard electronic publication
information. See Model 35
