TipsAuthor If a magazine article has no author, start the citation with the article title. If a magazine article is written by "Anonymous", put the word "Anonymous" where you'd normally have the author's name. Titles Italicize titles of magazines. Do not italicize the titles of articles. Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the article title. If there is a colon in the article title, also capitalize the first letter of the first word after the colon. Dates If an article has no date, use the short form n.d. where you would normally put the date. Volume and Issue Numbers Italicize volume numbers but not issue numbers. Retrieval Dates Most articles will not need these in the citation since you only need to provide a retrieval date when citing from places where content may change often and without notice. Page Numbers If an article doesn't appear on continuous pages, list all the page numbers the article is on, separated by commas. For example (4, 6, 12-14) FormattingNote: All citations should be double spaced and have a hanging indent in a Reference List.
