What is the Basic Bibliographic Information required for a Journal Article Citation?

• Author
  • There are rules for formatting for more than one author, a corporate author, or no author at all. 
• Title of Article
  • Make sure to find the title of the article on the first page of the article and not from the table of contents or the cover of the journal.
• Title of Journal
  • The title of the journal is just as important as the title of the article when citing from scholarly journals. You need both!
• Volume and Issue Number
  • You can find the volume and issue number on the title page, the front cover of the journal, or on the article itself.
• Date of Publication
  • You can also find the year the journal was published on the title page, front cover of the journal, or on the article itself.
• Page Numbers
  • Remember to include the page numbers of the entire article and not just the pages where you found the information you're citing.
