Anatomy of a Citation
There are many components that make up a citation that you must be able to find in an article in order to properly cite your reference. These are:
- Author(s) name
- Date of publication
- Title of the article
- Title of the journal
- Volume number of the journal
- Issue number of the journal (if applicable)
- Page range of the article
- DOI (Digital Object Identifier assigned to some electronic documents to provide a persistent link to the document)
Most of this information can be found on the first page of the journal article as seen below.
