How do you cite a scholarly article?

For all online scholarly journals, provide the author(s) name(s), the name of the article in quotation marks, the title of the publication in italics, all volume and issue numbers, and the year of publication. Include a DOI if available, otherwise provide a URL or permalink to help readers locate the source.

What is an article citation?

Article citations show which ideas are yours, and which ones come from an outside source, such as an article in a journal or magazine. When citing in-text, articles are cited like books and other types of publications and require a corresponding entry in a Works Cited (MLA) or References page (APA).

What is a scholarly source?

Scholarly sources are written by academics and other experts and contribute to knowledge in a particular field by sharing new research findings, theories, analyses, insights, news, or summaries of current knowledge. Scholarly sources can be either primary or secondary research.
