The example above is an article in a trade publication accessed through its online version on an open website.

  • Author: the article’s individual author, as always last name followed by initials.
  • Date: the publication date of the issue in () parentheses, Year-First, followed by the months.
  • Title: the article title in sentence-case.
  • Source location: the Publication’s Title (in Title-Case and italics), the article page range, and hyperlinked URL.
    • This example has no volume or issue numbers, so they are skipped.
