How
to Cite a Periodical Article Let’s illustrate with an article I assign for reading in the Senior
Seminar—Joyce Appleby’s essay from the AHR. The first citation of the
article looks like this.
Now to parse out the elements in this first citation of an article. •
Author, first name
first, followed by a comma •
Title of the article
and a comma, all enclosed in quotes •
Title of the journal
or magazine, in italics •
Volume (an Arabic
number) •
Date of the issue, in
parentheses, followed by a colon •
Page numbers As with books, the subsequent citation of a periodical article can be
shorter than the first. Here’s the description of the short citation form,
followed by the application of it to the same journal article. •
Last name of the
author •
Title of the article,
or if it is long, a shortened title •
Page numbers
