Working with Periodicals
Periodicals come in a variety of types are located
in a variety of ways, each requiring a specific citation:
Types of periodicals:
- Newspapers: daily, one or more editions a day, weekly; print
or online
- Magazines: special interest, subject specific, newsstand and
home subscription, news: weekly, monthly print or online
- Scholarly Journals: subject specific, professional: monthly,
bi monthly, quarterly, bi annually, annually, or online
Creating Citations for articles located by
browsing 3 specific print media
For example, a friend gives you a nursing journal with
an article on premature births or you read the Sunday edition of the
Denver Post and find an article on premature births at a local hospital:
See 253, #43-#55. Here you will see the citations for all periodical
media not located through an online data base. You
have access to the physical copy of the article.
For journal articles:
- Paginated by the volume: these journals will be paged by the
year. The first issue of the year will begin with number 1; numbering
pages of next issue will begin where last issue left off. When
periodicals are continuously paged, provide only the the volume
number.
-
Example: #43
Johnson, Michale. "High Risk Pregnancy:
Warning Signs of Premature Birth." Journal of Nursing.
90 (2007):
61-73. Note: place
period after title of journal when issue number is not required.
-
Paginated by the issue: these journals will be
paged by the issue with each issue for the year beginning with
page 1. For these journals, you must provide volume number and
issue number.
Example: #44
Brown, Marilyn. "Preventing Birth Defects."
Journal of Nursing 90.4 (2007): 145-159. Note:
omit period after title when issue number follows volume number.
-
When article skips pages:
provide the first page of the article followed with + to indicate
that the article continues later in the periodical.
Example: #45
Smith, Allison. "Training
for the Deli every Room Nurse." Journal of Nursing
34.1 (2007) 69+.
Refer to your handbook for all the various citations
for all other print material located by physically locating the periodical.
