An article can be cited in different formats depending on the citation style (e.g., MLA, APA, Harvard). Here are examples for some common styles:
MLA Style (Modern Language Association)
- Format: Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Periodical , Day Month Year, pages.
- Example: Poniewozik, James. "TV Makes a Too-Close Call." Time , 20 Nov. 2000, pp. 70-71.
APA Style (American Psychological Association)
- Format: Author(s). (Year). Title of article. Title of Journal , volume(issue), pages. DOI or URL if available.
- Example: Scruton, R. (1996). The eclipse of listening. The New Criterion , 15(3), 5–13.
- For articles with DOI: Include the DOI at the end.
Harvard Style
- Format: Author(s) (Year) 'Title of article', Title of Journal , volume(issue), pages. DOI or URL if available.
- Example: Skelton, A. (2011) 'Value conflicts in higher education teaching', Teaching in Higher Education , 17(3), pp. 257-268. doi: 10.1080/13562517.2011.611875.
Key Points to Remember:
- Article title is usually in quotation marks for MLA and single quotation marks for Harvard, but in sentence case without quotes for APA.
- Periodical/journal title is typically italicized.
- Include volume and issue number for journals where available.
- Provide page numbers.
- Include DOI or stable URL if the article is accessed online.
