An article in a journal:

 Rose, Phyllis. “Huxley, Holmes, and the Scientist as Aesthete.” Victorian Newsletter 38 (1970): 22-24.

 This is an article in a journal that is continuously paginated (i.e. consecutive issues in the same year will have numbers that follow on continuously from one issue to the next). Some journals are not continuously paginated, in which case you will also need to include the issue number as well as the volume number. For example,

 Smith, Johanna M. “Constructing the Nation: Eighteenth-Century Geographies for Children.” Mosaic 34.2 (2001): 133-48.

Article in an online journal

 There are two main types of these articles. Firstly, there are articles available as part of an archival database, such as Project Muse. These should be cited as follows.

 Bailey, Suzanne. "Somatic Wisdom: Refiguring Bodies in The Ring and the Book." Victorian Studies 41 (1998): 567-591. ProQuest. 12 April 2002.

 Provide any information you know about the printed equivalent, and also provide the title of the database (here, ProQuest), the date of access, and the relevant URL within the database (as in the entry below) or, if this is too long and complicated, the URL for the database’s search page (as in the entry above). If the service provides only the starting page number of the article, then indicate this as follows: 567-.  For articles that have no print equivalent, there may be no page numbers. You should cite the number of paragraphs or sections, if these are numbered. For example:

 Chan, Evans. “Postmodernism and Hong Kong Cinema.” Postmodern Culture 10.3 (2000): 43 pars. Project Muse. 28 July 2004.

 The second type of online journal is one that is available independently. To cite an article from this source, follow this example:

 Dane, Gabrielle. “Reading Ophelia’s Madness.” Exemplaria 10.2 (1998). 22 June 2002.

 This journal has no page, paragraph or section numbers, so the entry ends with the date of publication.
