NOTES

Journal/Magazine/Newspaper Articles

What is a DOI? 

• A DOI is a unique alpha-numeric code given to individual online works. It can be found in the database record or on the first page of the journal article. 
• Magazine and newspaper articles do not usually have DOIs
• Format DOIs as hyperlinks (i.e., beginning with “http:” or “https:”) as in: https://doi.org/xxxxx 
• If there is no DOI in a database record, you can look for it on CrossRef - https://www.crossref.org/guestquery 

For articles with a DOI 

• If the article has a DOI, include the DOI in the reference 
• Start with publication information formatted as if it is a print source, and add the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) at the end of the citation.  
• When citing a full-text journal article obtained from most academic research databases (e.g., CINAHL, PsycINFO, ScienceDirect), do not include the name of the database. 
• A small number of academic research databases publish original work work that is only available there. In those cases, do name the database and also include the DOI (e.g. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global, and UpToDate).

For articles without a DOI 

• If the journal article has no DOI and is from most library databases, end the reference after the page range. The reference in this case is the same as for a print journal article. Do not include database information. 
• A small number of academic research databases publish original work work that is only available there. In those cases, do name the database (e.g. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global, and UpToDate).
• If the journal article has no DOI but does have a nondatabase URL (e.g., it is from a free online source), include the URL of the article at the end of the reference.

Newspaper and magazine articles found using Library databases (e.g., Canadian Newsstand) should be cited the same as a print resource.

References from websites that have a corresponding print magazine or newspaper are formatted slightly different than other online sources. The major difference from other web sources is that you italicize the website (i.e., the magazine/newspaper) name as opposed to the title of the article.
