 Welcome to the Library Media Center's tutorial on creating citations for articles. In this tutorial, you will learn how to find the information needed to create a citation for a print or online journal article, no matter if you are using MLA, APA, Chicago, or another citation style to create your bibliography or worksite list. To cite an article, you will need to find the author or authors, the title of the article, the title of the journal publication, the volume and issue numbers, the date of publication, the page range of the article you are citing, and, especially if this is an article you accessed online, the DOI or URL for the article. Since many academic libraries favor online over print publications, let's look at an online article for this example. This academic article was accessed through Academic Search Complete, one of the Library Media Center's online databases. All of the information needed to create a citation is actually on this page. The author is Angela Smith. The title of this article is Letting Down Rapunzel, Feminism's Effects on Fairytales, and it was published in the journal Children's Literature in Education. The journal volume and issue number, date of publication, and the article page range are also listed next to the journal. December 2015, volume 46, issue 4, pages 424 to 437. The DOI is all the way at the bottom of the list, but it's here as well. If you're working with a scanned PDF or printed article, the process for finding this information might be different but not impossible. The article title will generally be at the top of the first page, followed by an author byline. The journal title is often at the top or bottom of the page, and the date of publication, issue and volume number, and sometimes even page numbers will follow the journal title. When in doubt, page numbers, like those in books, are printed in the corners of the pages. This example also includes the DOI on the first page, just under the publication details. You're now ready to start creating citations for articles. If you have any questions or need additional support in creating citations, please contact the Library Media Center.
